London Fashion Week has once again descended upon the city like a glittering storm, bringing with it a whirlwind of shows, presentations, and parties. The streets have become a stage, with influencers striking poses in the middle of roads, much to the chagrin of cab drivers. But this season, the spotlight isn’t just on the clothes—it’s on the celebrities who are being asked to do more than just sit pretty in the front row.
Designer Harris Reed set the tone early, transforming actress Florence Pugh into both muse and model. Meanwhile, American actress Debi Mazar took center stage for Completedworks’ unique blend of presentation and performance, following in the footsteps of Jennifer Saunders and Dianna Agron. It seems this year, the stars are earning their front-row seats.
Not everyone was asked to work for their spotlight. Kate Moss was treated to a lavish dinner in her honor by Donna Karan at the iconic Annabel’s. Sheila Atim celebrated Daniel Fletcher’s debut collection for Mithridate at an intimate gathering in Nexus London. Even London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, couldn’t resist the allure of fashion, flashing his best smize at the Harris Reed show.
London Fashion Week AW25 has proven to be more than just a showcase of trends—it’s a spectacle of star power, creativity, and unapologetic extravagance. From runway to afterparty, the city has become a playground for the bold and the beautiful.
