London Fashion Week returns from 17 to 21 September 2026, bringing five days of catwalk shows, presentations, appointments and fashion-led experiences to the British capital. The provisional London Fashion Week SS27 schedule places established British houses alongside independent designers and emerging names shaping the next phase of London fashion. Rather than covering every appointment on the calendar, this guide selects the principal shows to follow each day. From Harris Reed and Fashion East to Simone Rocha, McQueen and Burberry, these are the moments expected to define the Spring/Summer 2027 programme.
For a broader overview of the season’s major announcements, including McQueen’s London return and M&S’s runway debut, explore our guide to the key London Fashion Week 2026 highlights.

Selected highlights from the provisional schedule. Show times and formats may change before London Fashion Week.
Thursday Opens with British Fashion and Consumer-Led Experiences
Paul Costelloe will open the physical schedule at 10:00 on Thursday, beginning a first day that moves between traditional catwalks, designer presentations and consumer-focused experiences.
Harris Reed will present at 18:00, providing one of the opening day’s principal designer moments. The evening will then conclude with an H&M event created in collaboration with photographer Nick Knight and SHOWstudio, which the British Fashion Council describes as a reinterpretation of the conventional fashion show format.

Friday Brings Together Retail and Emerging Talent
Marks & Spencer will stage its first official London Fashion Week runway show at 12:00. The womenswear and menswear collection will follow a “see now, buy now” format, allowing featured pieces to move directly from the runway into selected retail channels. The afternoon and evening will shift towards emerging and independent talent. Fashion East will present at 17:00, followed by Aaron Esh at 19:00 and Paolo Carzana at 21:00.
Fashion East’s continued presence is particularly significant for designers at an early stage of commercial development. The platform has remained closely associated with London’s ability to identify new creative voices before they reach wider international recognition.

Saturday Highlights London’s Independent Fashion Identity
Ahluwalia will begin the principal afternoon programme at 13:00, followed by TOGA at 15:00. KNWLS will present at 17:00 before Richard Quinn takes the following slot at 18:00. Chopova Lowena will close the day at 20:00. Known for combining references drawn from craft, sportswear and subculture, the label provides an appropriate conclusion to a schedule centred on London’s more experimental fashion identity.
The day also includes presentations from Pauline Dujancourt, Steve O Smith and J.L-A.L. The latter will introduce its SS27 collection through an immersive presentation followed by an afterparty marking its collaboration with Puma.

Sunday Is the Biggest Day on the LFW SS27 Calendar
Sunday contains the most concentrated sequence of internationally recognised houses on the London Fashion Week SS27 schedule. Simone Rocha will open the day at 10:00, followed by Erdem at 12:00 and Emilia Wickstead at 13:00. Together, the three shows create a strong opening run shaped by distinct interpretations of craftsmanship, occasionwear and contemporary femininity.
At 15:00, Mulberry will present Christopher Kane’s first collection for the house. Roksanda will follow at 17:00 before McQueen takes the final slot at 20:00. The McQueen show will present both menswear and womenswear and mark Seán McGirr’s London runway debut for the house.

Burberry Will Close London Fashion Week on Monday
Di Petsa will present at 12:00, followed by Ashish at 14:00. The day will also include designers such as Tolu Coker, Clara Chu and Liza Keane, ensuring that independent and emerging talent remains visible until the final evening.
Burberry will close London Fashion Week at 19:00. As one of the most internationally recognised British fashion houses, its position at the end of the calendar gives the week a definitive closing moment and will likely make Monday evening one of the season’s most closely followed time slots.

Which Day of London Fashion Week SS27 Should You Prioritise?
For guests building a shorter London itinerary, Sunday 20 September offers the highest concentration of established houses. Simone Rocha, Erdem, Emilia Wickstead, Mulberry, Roksanda and McQueen are all scheduled within the same day.
Saturday may be more suitable for those interested in London’s independent and directional designers, particularly Ahluwalia, KNWLS, Richard Quinn and Chopova Lowena.
Friday provides a stronger view of the city’s emerging talent pipeline through Fashion East, Aaron Esh and Paolo Carzana, while Monday combines a smaller selection of presentations with Burberry’s closing show.
Planning a London Fashion Week SS27 Itinerary
London Fashion Week extends beyond the official runway timings. Private appointments, collection previews, dinners, afterparties and brand events can create a demanding schedule across several areas of the city.
Therefore, contact MA Hospitality Group for enquiries or more information around the London Fashion Week SS27 schedule.
