The Best Front-Row Looks At London Fashion Week SS26

The year in music has, quite honestly, been one dominated by the Brits. Oasis was back in action, taking over stadiums around the globe; while everyone else was having an Addison Rae or Horny-Girl Summer, we were having a Robert Smith Summer with Olivia Rodrigo; and acts like Lola Young and Olivia Dean have risen from viral sensations to bonafide global superstars. The homespun, richly nostalgic music is not unlike the fashion at the short but mighty London Fashion Week. The city plays host to young talent like no other; brands like Alexander McQueen (now McQueen) and Simone Rocha all got their start showing in the English capital. Some of our emerging favorites like Talia Byre and Conner Ives all show, and the stars pile in to see it all.

This week, there were a few notable additions to the calendar, chief of which was H&M’s blockbuster H&M&180: The London Issue megashow, replete with a live runway and a front row pulled straight from Charli XCX’s wedding guestlist. Below, see our favorite looks off the runway, including a few from Julia Fox who skipped New York Fashion Week and saved herself for the European shows. (We forgive you, Julia.)
