London Fashion Week returns from 17 to 21 September 2026, with five days of shows, installations, talks, digital events and public activities organised by the British Fashion Council. The official LFW site confirms the Thursday-to-Monday window. The timetable remains provisional: times and venues can still change before the week begins.

The BFC published the provisional schedule in July. Reports reproducing that calendar say Thursday 17 September opens at 10:00 local time with Paul Costelloe. The same day also lists Stephen Jones Millinery, the BFC Jewellery Showcase at Dover Street Market, Harris Reed and an H&M event, among others. The week is due to close on Monday 21 September with Burberry in the evening.

Highlights announced by the council include McQueen’s return to the official London schedule, with Seán McGirr’s London debut of SS27 menswear and womenswear, and Mulberry’s return under Christopher Kane. Barbour, Emilia Wickstead, Erdem, Harris Reed, Richard Quinn, Roksanda and Simone Rocha are also back.

Marks & Spencer makes its LFW debut with a “see now, buy now” runway collection of womenswear and menswear in its fashion-industry centenary year. eBay returns with Endless Runway, a pre-loved show. Events are spread across London, not confined to a single venue.

Access conditions vary. Some presentations are invitation-only and others are open to the public; that should be checked on the official schedule rather than assumed. The programme spans womenswear, menswear, accessories and experimental formats, with space for established houses as well as NEWGEN and other talent schemes.

The collections on show are for spring/summer 2027. Visitors should recheck the timetable before travelling, because the BFC released a provisional calendar, not a frozen one.
