London Fashion Week is officially back.

Running from September 17 to 21, London Fashion Week (LFW) Spring/Summer 2027 is set to return with a provisional schedule that promises global attention, a strong lineup of designers, and a range of experiential events, shows, presentations, and activations.

“This season marks an exciting moment for London Fashion Week, with the return of leading British brands alongside an exceptional new generation of creative talent,” said BFC CEO Laura Weir in a statement on Friday. “The schedule reflects the confidence and momentum of British fashion today, bringing together established houses, emerging designers, and industry partners on a platform that continues to shape global fashion. Together, they reaffirm London’s position as the global home of creativity and a catalyst for innovation, opportunity, and growth.”

In that spirit, McQueen will return to its home turf under the vision of Seán McGirr — a move reportedly driven by new CEO Gianfranco D’Attis, who took over in June. Meanwhile, London favorite Christopher Kane will debut his collection for Mulberry, where he was appointed creative director in March, following the drawn-out closure of his own label in 2023. Another supporter of this best-of-British approach, cross-category retailer Marks & Spencer, will celebrate 100 years in fashion with a co-ed, “see-now, buy-now” runway show.

Continuing the celebration of homegrown brands, the schedule includes a Barbour presentation on the first day and closes the week with Burberry.

Small and mid-sized LFW regulars will also take to the runway, including Erdem, Simone Rocha, Ashley Williams, Harris Reed, Emilia Wickstead, Knwls, Ahluwalia, Roksanda, Richard Quinn, and Natasha Zinko.

Chopova Lowena will also hold its annual catwalk show, following last season’s crazy golf-inspired presentation. Critically acclaimed favorites Paolo Carzana and Aaron Esh — the latter also serves as AllSaints’ creative director — will be runway highlights.

There are plenty of first-timers too. Sweden’s Petra Fagerström will make her LFW runway debut, while Francesca Lake and Gui Rosa will present their first LFW shows. All three are recipients of the BFC’s NewGen sponsorship, provided in partnership with Spanish-founded retailer Pull&Bear. Other 2026 to 2027 funding recipients returning to the schedule include A Letter, Charlie Constantinou, Ewusie, Johanna Parv, Liza Keane, Octi, Oscar Ouyang, Pauline Dujancoourt, Steve O Smith, The Ouze, and Yaku.

Geordie Campbell — a preppy brand gaining traction in the queer British creative scene — will also join the lineup, alongside Indian minimalist label Lovebirds and ethereal womenswear designer Joyce Bao, herself a success story from Paul Smith’s Foundation.

This schedule marks the third fashion week since the BFC’s reset under Weir, a journalist-turned-executive whose résumé includes British Vogue, Selfridges, and the Evening Standard. Under her leadership, the BFC has shifted its focus toward a more connected, decentralized incubator model, rather than a London-centric organization. For LFW — as outlined in the 2030 strategy — that means putting designers first, while also bringing intentional attention to the event and mentoring designers so they can grow at their own pace.

“I’m focused on refining the mentoring part so that it includes business resilience,” Weir told Vogue Business in March. “You might want a moderate business with a small team that supports a low-key lifestyle, or you might want to scale to a multi-million-pound company. Both are great. What matters is that we’re upskilling and sharing lessons with designers on how to spend the funding they get from us wisely.”

The fashion talent incubation scheme led by founder and director Lulu Kennedy, Fashion East, will remain on the schedule following continued investment from the BFC. (Last year, the BFC allocated £1.3 million in grants and scholarships across its prizes and talent programs.) Birmingham City University will also be involved.To present a showcase of the school’s work in the capital.

As part of the week’s extra focus on London’s retail scene, the schedule includes a jewelry collection shown at concept store Dover Street Market, a pre-loved runway show organized with eBay that can be shopped live, and spotlights on London designers placed throughout the Selfridges flagship store. Plus, H&M — after its runway debut last year — will return with a fresh take on the fashion show format, working alongside image-maker Nick Knight.
