In just over a week, London will be busy with celebrities, designers, and models for Fashion Week 2018. The shows and events kick off on 16 February and last until 20 February. While the actual runway shows are invitation only, you can stream most of the shows online. Here are some that I am most excited about.
Sophia Webster‘s shoes and bags are fun, feminine, and whimsical. Every piece is packed with personality, and it is obvious that each design seems to be a labour of love and talent. (Sophia’s won numerous awards for her collections.) I can’t wait to see her new collection on Monday at 13:30.
Osman is known for his strong structure and draping in his designs. He typically uses strong and striking colours to emphasize his styles. He has a strong celebrity following with stars like Beyonce and Taylor Swift wearing his designs. You can see his show at 10:30 on Saturday.
You won’t want to miss Sadie William‘s collection show at 15:30 on Saturday. Her lines are typically modern and bold. The geometric patterns she uses consistently draw me in, and I love her reputation for bringing a bit of tomboy to feminine fashion. I feel confident that she is one to watch.
Roberta Einer’s collection is sure to be bold, bright, and fun like it has been in the past. She moved from Estonia to London with a dream of being a fashion designer. At 13, she applied to various boarding schools near the city and only told her parents once she’d gotten in. Her dream came true, and she will be showing her collection at 15:30 on Sunday.
I’m constantly drawn to bold floral patterns, so Alice Archer‘s collections are always something I watch for. She is known for her combinations of embroidery and print, and when you look at pictures of her work, it isn’t hard to know why. Watch her show on Saturday at 9:30.
Here is a complete schedule of the week, so you can be sure to know when to watch your favourite designers.
