Following the announcement of the preliminary New York Fashion Week Spring 2026 schedule, the British Fashion Council (BFC) announced its own tentative calendar for the September 2025 edition of London Fashion Week, taking place from Sept. 18 to 22.

The announcement comes one week after Laura Weir, the BFC’s new CEO, announced new standards and guidelines for London Fashion Week that will make the event more accessible to independent designers. The changes, which Weir said will initiate a new “British fashion era,” have already taken effect, resulting in an 18% increase in designers on the schedule. 

One of the key shifts this season is the waiving of show fees for designers looking to present during the main schedule — a major win for smaller brands seeking to showcase their work. Those making their LFW debuts this fall include Anamika Khanna, Dreaming Eli, Lucila Safdie, Unhidden, Kyle Ho, Rory William Docherty and Kseniaschnaider.

Of the returning indie designers, Chopova Lowena, Marques’Almeida, Tove, Dilara Findikoglu and Susan Fang are all set to participate, as well as 2025 BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund winner Conner Ives, who gained traction this year with his “Protect the Dolls” T-shirt worn by Pedro Pascal, Troye Sivan and Addison Rae.

Famed British brands such as Burberry, Erdem, Simone Rocha and Emilia Wickstead will also come back to the calendar in the standard runway format, while JW Anderson plans to “host a special evening event in collaboration with the BFC to celebrate the brand’s relaunch,” according to a press release.
