London Fashion Week
London Fashion Week is the third stop on the international fashion month circuit — following New York and preceding Milan and Paris — and it occupies a unique and irreplaceable position in the global fashion calendar. Where New York delivers American glamour and commercial power, Milan Italian luxury and Paris French prestige, London delivers something the other fashion weeks cannot: genuine creative risk, experimental fashion, an extraordinary pipeline of emerging talent and a spirit of individual expression that is distinctly and defiantly British.
Organised by the British Fashion Council (BFC), London Fashion Week takes place twice yearly — in February (for Autumn/Winter collections) and September (for Spring/Summer collections). The September edition — London Fashion Week September — is the more socially and culturally vibrant of the two, held in the warmth of the London autumn and drawing the international fashion world to Britain's capital for five days of shows, events and fashion energy.
LFW is also unique among the major fashion weeks in offering genuine public access through the LFW Festival — a consumer-facing event that runs alongside the main professional programme and allows fashion enthusiasts to buy tickets and experience London Fashion Week directly. This democratic dimension is entirely absent from Paris, Milan and largely absent from New York, making London Fashion Week the most accessible major fashion event in the world for non-industry guests.
VIP Access provides London Fashion Week tickets, VIP show access and LFW hospitality packages at every level — from the most exclusive designer shows to the LFW Festival consumer experience and everything in between.
London Fashion Week operates through two parallel systems:
THE PROFESSIONAL SHOW PROGRAMME — the main LFW designer shows are managed by the British Fashion Council's official accreditation system. Professional credentials are issued to press, buyers and industry professionals through the BFC's official application process. Individual brands also manage their own invitation lists independently of the BFC system.
THE LFW FESTIVAL — uniquely among the major fashion weeks, the BFC runs a consumer-facing Festival event that runs in parallel with the professional show programme. The Festival offers fashion enthusiasts the opportunity to buy tickets and attend LFW events, talks, designer installations, shopping opportunities and selected presentations. This makes London the only major fashion week with a genuine public ticketed component.
For non-industry guests, the options are:
VIP Access LFW packages are designed for guests who want an exceptional London fashion week experience with full support. Our packages can include:
VIP Show Access — credentials and tickets to LFW runway shows and presentations, at varying levels depending on specific show and season availability. We work with both the official BFC channels and individual brand networks to source the best available London Fashion Week access.
LFW VIP Events — access to the fashion week parties, brand events, designer dinners and exclusive activations that form LFW's exceptional social programme throughout the week.
BFC-Accredited Events — some official LFW events offer tiered access, with premium VIP tickets providing the best positioning, earliest entry and most exclusive experiences within the official LFW programme.
London Fashion Week Hotel Packages — accommodation at London's finest hotels during fashion week. Claridge's, The Berkeley, The Connaught, The Savoy and Chiltern Firehouse are among the premier LFW addresses. London hotel demand during fashion week is significant; early booking is essential.
Full Curated LFW Programmes — for clients who want a completely managed London Fashion Week experience, we design a bespoke programme combining show access, the LFW Festival, VIP events, the finest London restaurants and hotel.
London Fashion Week features approximately 50–70 shows and presentations across its five-day schedule, with a character that emphasises creativity, experimentation and emerging talent more than any other major fashion week. Key shows include:
Burberry — London Fashion Week's most commercially significant and globally watched show. Under Daniel Lee, Burberry presents collections that are watched internationally as a statement about British identity and culture. Burberry's LFW show is consistently the most-followed British fashion event of the year, staged in spectacular London locations including the Tate Modern and Highbury Fields.
JW Anderson — Jonathan Anderson's JW Anderson is one of the most critically acclaimed and internationally respected British fashion houses. JW Anderson shows are intimate, conceptually rigorous and beloved by the most fashion-forward LFW audience.
Vivienne Westwood (Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood) — the most symbolically important name in British fashion, continuing under Andreas Kronthaler with the rebellious, theatrical, political spirit Vivienne Westwood established. LFW's most politically charged shows.
Simone Rocha — one of the most beautiful and most distinctive voices in British fashion. Simone Rocha's shows are among the most anticipated of each LFW season and attract genuine international attention.
Erdem — Canadian-born, London-based Erdem Moralioglu produces some of the most exquisitely crafted shows of the LFW calendar. A favourite of press and buyers for the extraordinary quality of the work.
Richard Quinn — one of the most spectacular and theatrically ambitious shows in LFW. Richard Quinn's maximalist vision creates some of the most visually extraordinary runway moments in British fashion.
Molly Goddard — beloved for her extraordinary tulle creations, Molly Goddard's LFW shows are events in their own right — joyful, exuberant and distinctive in a way that only London fashion produces.
Roksanda — Serbian-born, London-based Roksanda Ilincic produces some of the most sophisticated and architecturally beautiful clothes shown at LFW. A consistent critical favourite and strong commercial performer.
London Fashion Week hospitality combines show and event access with the unique experience of London during fashion week — one of the world's great cities at its most creative and most animated.
Our LFW hospitality services:
Hotel Reservations — London's premier fashion week hotels. Claridge's in Mayfair is LFW's most prestigious address and a fashion world institution. The Berkeley, The Connaught and The Savoy provide alternative luxury addresses. Chiltern Firehouse in Marylebone is the city's most fashionable hotel and consistently one of the most animated social spaces in London during LFW. The Hoxton properties (Shoreditch, Holborn) are strong downtown options for guests who prefer the creative geography of East London.
Restaurant Reservations — London's dining scene has transformed dramatically in recent years and is now one of the most exciting in the world. Key LFW restaurants include Scott's (a fashion world institution on Mount Street), Chiltern Firehouse restaurant, Sketch, Sushi Tetsu and the best of London's extraordinary restaurant scene.
London Experience Programming — fashion week in London is an opportunity to combine the fashion programme with the extraordinary cultural offer of the city: the Tate Modern, the V&A (which has the world's finest collection of fashion), the National Gallery, the Royal Academy, Soho, the East End art scene and much more.

Designer show access through premium channels: from £200–£800+ per show depending on the designer and seating position.
Full LFW VIP packages (multi-day, with hotel and events): from £1,800–£8,000+ per person for a quality multi-day experience.
London hotel accommodation during LFW (premium properties): from £400–£1,500+ per night at premier addresses — elevated from normal London rates but generally less extreme than Paris fashion week premiums.
LFW is generally the most accessible major fashion week in terms of public pricing. The LFW Festival component in particular provides a genuine, official fashion week experience at a consumer-friendly price point unique to London.
London Fashion Week takes place twice per year:
LFW February — presents Autumn/Winter collections. Typically held in the second week of February, running for five days. Follows NYFW February and precedes Milan and Paris.
LFW September — presents Spring/Summer collections. Typically held in the third week of September, running for five days. Follows NYFW September and precedes Milan and Paris. The September edition is the more socially vibrant and most attended of the two.
The BFC also organises London Fashion Week Men's in January and June, presenting the menswear collections. The menswear calendar has its own separate credential and event structure.
