Demna Gvasalia’s highly anticipated Gucci debut arrived not with a runway, but with a meticulously curated look book and cinematic short film. Titled La Famiglia, the digital collection showcased 37 distinct characters, blending nostalgic nods to Tom Ford’s Gucci with a boldly modern identity. With “The Tiger” film premiere, a full social rebrand, and a city buzzing with fashion’s elite, Demna’s vision for Gucci is clear: this is more than fashion - it’s a cultural reset.

Diesel kicked off MFW SS26 with a city-wide egg hunt and 55 full runway looks sealed in transparent capsules. Forget the catwalk - this show took over the streets of Milan, blending fashion, fun, and full-blown chaos in true Diesel style.

Set in the regal Mansion House, Simone Rocha’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection was a dreamy, cinematic delight. From pillows to mountains of tulle, sequins, and glimmering silver, Rocha delivered a collection full of emotion, vulnerability, and her signature romantic femininity. Transparent PVC trenches, frilly pearl-embellished pieces, and even ballerina platform Crocs proved Rocha can make anything runway-worthy.

Set against the iconic British Museum, Erdem’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection was pure cinematic magic. From jaw-dropping lace mini dresses to airy chiffon springtime gowns, Moralıoğlu delivered 43 looks brimming with romance, intricate detailing, and playful innovation. Romantic, brainy, and electrified - Erdem proved once again why he’s one of London Fashion Week’s most compelling voices.

From cherry-stained corsets and chaotic cosplay vibes to romantic tailoring and punky hardware, today proved why London is still one of the most thrilling fashion weeks in the world.

Day two of London Fashion Week delivered an electric mix of emerging talent and legacy names, with standout collections from Patrick McDowell, Toga, Ahluwalia, Roksanda, and a jaw-dropping 56-look finale by Richard Quinn.
