London Fashion Week is generally known as the edgier of the big four (the others being Paris, New York and Milan of course) allowing designers to showcase their full creative range. This has made for pretty iconic moments over the years from Alexander McQueen's paint-spraying robots to The Queen sitting front row and Harper Beckham twinning with Anna Wintour.
While this year the schedule looks slightly different to years gone by, following a two year Covid-induced break, and the Queen's funeral. It means that we will certainly see a more subdued and considered LFW this season. We take a look back at the unforgettable London Fashion Week moments that made history, and cemented its position as a leading fashion capital.
