5 Trend spotted at London Fashion Week From the irresistible charm of roses to frou-frou skirts

From 14 to 19 September, London became the fashion capital and showed what we will be wearing in the SS24 season. The UK capital's most coveted and coolest venues were packed with fashion insiders and onlookers, all waiting to attend the fashion shows, presentations and events. A packed programme that didn't bring together big names but more or less established talents who brought their new collections to the catwalk from Burberry to Erdem, from Simone Rocha to David Koma. Eudon Choi opened the presentation programme on Saturday with a catwalk show in the garden of St Paul's Church in Covent Garden with a tribute to the painter Berthe Morisot. On Saturday morning, celebrities and industry insiders flocked to the Roundhouse in Camden to see the SS24 fashion show by JW Anderson, whose hoodies and shorts looked as if they had been sculpted by hand from clay. Roksanda opted for the brutalist architecture of the Barbican Centre, reflecting the concept of her collection, while Chopova Lowena virtually transported her audience to the British south coast, specifically Flora Day in Helston, Cornwall, with her mix of grunge and Britishness. However, all these seemingly different worlds and styles have something in common.

Here are 5 trends we spotted at London Fashion Week.

Kiss from a rose

Hyper-feminine, prissy and over-decorated. And often sexy too. When it comes to shoes at this year's LFW, more is more. In the search for the perfect statement shoe to draw attention and elevate any outfit, designers casually switch from Texan boots to David Koma's high-heeled models with floral prints and fuchsia roses. And how about Simone Rocha's collaboration with Crocs. The talented Irishwoman adorns fashion's favourite ugly sandals with a cascade of pearls. At Erdem, on the other hand, the shoes are pointed and golden with maxi bows, at Roksanda the high-heeled sandals are all covered in feathers and at 16Arlington the pumps are adorned with huge sequins just like the dresses. Another trendy footwear for spring/summer 2024? Over-the-knee boots, like the hyper-sexy boots at David Koma, Mark Fast and KNWLS.
