The very best from the British capital!

The London Fashion Week wrapped up to much fanfare, concluding some very fashionable days in the United Kingdom. Various top names showed up in style, unveiling collections that promised to make waves in the current fashion meta. It was extremely difficult to pick our favourites, but we have given it a go anyway.

This is KHAMSA‘s round-up of the highlights from the London Fashion Week.

١. JW Anderson SS25

JW Anderson was at it again with the deception in London, dropping pieces that looked one way and revealed themselves to be something else. The reveal of a zip-up sweatshirt turning out to be a silk dress was so JW, showcasing the brand’s ingenuity. For Spring/Summer 2025, their LFW offering was minimalistic, clean, and had a beautiful simplicity to it.

Featuring a premium palette of leather, silk, and cashmere, the JW Anderson SS25 collection showed the industry their projections of it. It looked towards the future, stressing on the appeal of starting on a blank canvas and evolving as time passes. The collection raised both awe and questions, and of the latter, we are sure the all-knowing Anderson has the answers we will eventually stumble upon ourselves.

٢. Simone Rocha SS25

Simone Rocha catered to the ballerina in all of us. Their SS25 collection unveiled at the London Fashion Week showcased some fine tutus in ways that we often see in movies. The childlike glee everyone had at the event confirmed the success of the collection. Indeed, ballet was all over TikTok recently, and while it may have lowkey died there, Simone Rocha showed there is plenty of life in a little dance.

Despite the novel concept, this was still a Simone Rocha collection at heart. That meant the familiar pale pink and crisp detailing we have come to know and love from them. The tutu skirts, silk slippers, and the bags covered in organza made us want to indulge in a little ballet ourselves.

٣. Natasha Zinko

Natasha Zinko was in an outlandish mood in London, dropping a collection that was simply the furthest thing away from what one might consider ordinary. For starters, the vibe was little different to that of a surgery clinic, and that was as enthralling as it was scary.

Zinko did all kinds of exciting stuff, from bandaging models to give them a post-surgery look to unleashing multi-armed tops, capris, tees, and sweatpants on the stunned audience. It was a show to remember on all aspects, not least of which was the collection itself, which was another sensational effort from the designer.

٤. S.S.Daley SS25

The first S.S.DALEY Womenswear collection “No suffix, prefix or quotes” was unveiled in London, and it was a brilliant one. Inspired by a home hero in British artist Gluck, the collection paid homage to his life and work.

The collection featured hand-painted wooden beads, which were used to form pixelated florals. These were similar to the ones Constance Spry would make for the legendary Gluck to paint. There was also a tailcoat suit made of black wool, which was a homage to Gluck’s iconic uniform.

٥. Nensi Dojaka SS25

Nensi Dojaka had been off the radar for a while, but they returned with a bang at the London Fashion Week. Fresh off their recent collaboration with Calvin Klein, they took to the United Kingdom on Saturday with some stellar designs that showed they had never left.

The collection featured elegant chiffon dresses in pastel shades that looked floaty and fantastic. They also unveiled many cut-out designs and sequins, a Nensi Sojaka staple since their inception, and bras and pants boasting straps and embellishments that resembled hoops.

What got us was the emotion Nensi Dojaka displayed as the show concluded. She went and embraced her father, who proudly watched her show sitting in the front row. Who doesn’t love a good comeback story?
