I’m writing this from the back of our Marie Claire car between shows and reflecting on a busy few weeks as we near the end of Fashion Month.
A key highlight for me this year was the atmosphere during London Fashion Week. It was the first one since Laura Weir was made CEO of the British Fashion Council and her vision of ‘positive transformation’ was palpable. In her opening speech she spoke about removing barriers to entry, loosening criteria to welcome fresh perspectives and championing homegrown talent. The collections genuinely reflected this and were a powerful reminder of why London is so special leading the way in creativity, sustainability and innovation.
Catch up on all the highlights from London Fashion Week and Milan Fashion Week and check out our comprehensive guide to the stand out moments from Paris.
Meanwhile, I’m rounding up a 7 easy-to-style pieces I packed to get me through the past few days of the shows.
