"For an eclectic cast of characters, London fashion week is hard to beat. Hall starred as a diva psychic, using clairvoyant powers to hawk bracelets in a short play by Laura Waldren staged by jewellery brand Completedworks, while Beckham and Leith made their London catwalk debuts, for H&M and Vin + Omi. Hepworth and Mapplethorpe came along for the ride in spirit, on the moodboards at Roksanda and Emilia Wickstead respectively, while the England footballer and the performance artist had front row seats."
"I can't believe I'm still here, said Ilincic, backstage at a show that celebrated a landmark 20 years as a designer, after teetering on the brink of administration in 2024. It is bittersweet, because so many of my incredibly talented peers did not make it. But I'm very proud. Roksanda dresses are worn by Michelle Obama and Cate Blanchett but Ilincic's heart, like the core of her loyal clientele, belongs to the art world."
London fashion week combined celebrities, artists and athletes with designers, performance and jewellery activations to create an eclectic, art-infused spectacle. Jerry Hall performed as a clairvoyant in a Completedworks short play while Romeo Beckham and Prue Leith made catwalk debuts for H&M and Vin + Omi. Moodboards referenced artists such as Barbara Hepworth and Robert Mapplethorpe, and figures like Lucy Bronze and Marina Abramovic occupied front-row seats. The weekend’s headline shows were led by women including Simone Rocha, Emilia Wickstead, Roksanda Ilincic and Edeline Lee. Several collections drew direct inspiration from female artists and the art world.
