This year in London marked both a cause for celebration and a time to reflect and renew: the 40th anniversary of London Fashion Week arrived in the midst of a difficult financial landscape for established and emerging brands alike.
The British fashion capital delivered on both of these fronts. Perhaps what was most exciting is that many of the week’s best collections came from independent designers who launched their own brands within the last two decades, and often – as in the case of Nensi Dojaka and S.S. Daley – much more recently.
The city’s international, multicultural side was on display as well, while hometown classic Burberry continued to find its footing in the Daniel Lee era as he played with the proportions and structures of classic outerwear.
But JW Anderson takes home the top spot with a collection that found new levels of ingenuity within the designer’s penchant for a surreal rewriting of fashion vocabulary.
