London Fashion Week truly lived up to all expectations as one of the world’s fashion capitals. With a wide range of designers from across the world all showcasing their amazing work on these stunning catwalks, here is a list of some of most unforgettable looks from this season, in no particular order.

From the hottest Asian designers to upcoming stars, these outfits have truly made their mark for this AW26.

1. Claudia Wang

Separately, the top and pants for this look don’t seem to go. The striped nature of the crossover top seems to clash with the metallic nature of the bottoms, but together, they surprisingly blend and look cohesive. The stripes and simple floral patterns don’t overpower each other, and the contrast in material creates separation for the two pink pieces.

2. Claudia Wang

On first glance, the beautiful, bright blue dress with its intricate patterns and ruched skirt is elegant and pure. The floaty, feminine nature of the dress is balanced by the brown jacket, which adds an air of ruggedness and makes it more casual and wearable.

3. Claudia Wang

Taking a pale blue and adding different patterns and shapes has created a top that feels like it wouldn’t be out of place in a sci-fi film or part of a cosplay outfit. While the top is bold and intricate with the design, the skirt is more classic but with a twist. The wrap design and pleats are elegant and sophisticated, sinched in at the waist to create the perfect figure.

4. Syra J

The conservative nature of the dress at first glance should be replaced with elegance and classiness through the design, including a sheer top and sleeves with the shaping of the skirt and shoulders. Although the aura of the outfit seems to take Victorian influences, the look is quintessentially modern, especially with the small details.

5. Syra J

Top-and-pants combinations can often feel underwhelming and out of step with the high-end world of fashion. This look proves that the use of texture, colour, and accessories can make them as glamourous as any ballgown. In particular, the pop of red in the scarf and on the top, along with the feathered material, exudes sexiness and sophistication.

6. Syra J

In this outfit, while the top seems sleek and sophisticated, for a night out, the bright and unique texture of the skirt turns it into high fashion, making it something completely unexpected. Although the mix of colours, materials, and designs could be overwhelming to the eye, the placement and thought in each decision exude flawlessness and elegance.

7. Syra J

While darker tones were used in many of the outfits, the bright orange dress truly took centre stage for Syra J. Not only was the fit and use of colours brilliant, but the feathered peplum on the mid-section adds an extra layer of excitement, especially with the tulle train. Matching the accessories to the black and orange of the dress creates a cohesive look that is elegant but bold.

8. Yusuf Kaplan

Although the whole outfit beautifully showcases a futuristic vibe, the silver top’s construction and design are bold, especially with the metal sculpted onto the model.  The panels on the long skirt add volume, creating an extra layer that allows the top to stand out while perfectly complementing the dramatic nature of the entire outfit.

8. Mahnoor Khan

Bold dresses always catch the eye, and this bold and unexpected outfit truly captures the attention with an extremely unique design that might not be for everyone. The combination of two pale pinks could make the piece blend in, but the use of material, volume, and texture creates something magnificent and dramatic.

9. Sanjana Anikumar Nair

Although all black pieces can sometimes seem boring or plain, the tailoring of this outfit is so precise and detailed that it creates different dimensions through the fabrics and techniques used. The high collar and long trumpet sleeves contrast with the short length of the skirt, with the lace details and fabric pattern making the entire look more complex.

10. Alex Yu

Ruffles truly are the hardest texture to incorporate into outfits, without making it seem like a costume. Alex Yu’s dress balances everything together, from the colours, patterns, and cuts to make something stylish. The mesh included in both the bodice and the skirt creates a sense of fluidity throughout the outfit, while the changes in colour and texture make it more interesting to look at.

11. Alex Yu

A plain black dress is a statement piece everyone needs, but this one has a twist. The texture of the dress completes it, turning it from a normal dress into something dramatic. The sheer sleeves and ruffled texture of the main bodice lead your eye to different places, with details that are unique and bold.

12. Xenia Xavier Fernandes

Combining a pale dress with a bold pink tulle detail elevates a simple dress and creates drama with the details. With a dress that focuses on two colours and a simple structure, any small issue will be highlighted. Luckily, the quality of the creation is so clean and slick that it exudes glamour, especially when paired with the textured black boots.

13. INFDARK

White outfits might seem plain, but it’s the way they are tailored and styled that makes them impactful, and INFDARK’s outfit does that perfectly. Taking white, they used it on two intricately designed pieces with a unique texture to give them a 3D look. With this look, it’s the attention to detail that makes it even more impactful, including the boots and makeup, turning it into a piece of drama, not just an outfit.

14. Olena Adam

Olena Adam’s brand was all about the outerwear, with each model wearing a unique piece to complement the look. The pale pink piece here matches perfectly with the bold white and sparkly two-piece it accompanies. This look wouldn’t seem out of place on a night out, shining bright, but also exuding elegance with the tailoring and structure of each fit.

15. Olena Adam

In this look, the pink coat exudes spring vibes with intricate design details and a variety of colours. The coat might be the signature, but the yellow two-piece adds sexiness, with unexpected textures and tailoring. In particular, the contrast between the yellow and pink blends perfectly, and the small details, like the bag and the chain, bring the entire look together, making it bold, sophisticated, and diverse.
