As London Fashion Week draws to a close, here’s a look at some of the standout moments from the Autumn/Winter 2026 season

Tolu Coker
An unexpected royal appearance marked a standout moment on the opening day of London Fashion Week, as King Charles attended the show in a gesture of support for British creative talent. Having previously benefited from guidance through The Prince’s Trust (now The King’s Trust) when launching her label in 2018, the moment carried particular significance for Coker. Her latest collection drew inspiration from the London neighborhood she grew up in, featuring cropped double-breasted jackets, sailor hats and sharply tailored frock coats rendered in soft pastel tones.

Joseph
Returning to the London Fashion Week calendar for the first time in nearly ten years, Joseph staged its show within an industrial-inspired setting at the Tate Modern. The collection focused on elevated everyday dressing, with an emphasis on statement outerwear, tactile knits, tailored suiting and structured accessories, finished with subtle touches of snake print woven throughout.

Burberry
At Burberry, Daniel Lee revisited the house’s defining outerwear codes, placing the trench coat firmly at the center of the Autumn/Winter 2026 narrative. Reinterpreted for the realities of London’s colder months, the familiar silhouette took on a softer, more feminine quality, with ruffled collars and delicate fringe details reminiscent of rainfall skimming the surface of faux fur trims.

Erdem
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Erdem presented its latest collection at Tate Britain, where models including Edie Campbell and Karen Elson walked in a series of textured, sculptural looks. The Autumn/Winter 2026 offering combined signature florals with layered construction and contemporary tailoring, drawing inspiration from the influential women who have informed the brand’s creative journey.

Richard Quinn
Richard Quinn’s latest collection balanced tradition with modernity, pairing intricately embellished ballgowns with a more contemporary visual language. Hints of latex appeared alongside ornate evening silhouettes, creating a contrast between forward-thinking design and timeless glamour.

Simone Rocha

Simone Rocha’s Autumn/Winter 2026 show explored the tension between past and present, blending traditionally masculine codes with feminine silhouettes. The collection moved between elevated sportswear and voluminous evening gowns and introduced a new collaboration with Adidas Originals that brought together Rocha’s romantic aesthetic with athletic design elements.
