Our Favorite Shows of London Fashion Week SS26 So Far

The Spring/Summer 2026 season of London Fashion Week is finally upon us and in the first two days alone, we've already seen some of our favorite brands and designers return to the runway, spotted major celebrities sitting in the front row and witnessed the debut of upcoming collaborations. The season started strong with secondhand fashion shows courtesy of eBay and Vinted, followed by a masterclass in sculpture from Harris Reed and a star-studded event from H&M.

Next up, we immersed ourselves in Dreaming Eli's femme-forward wonderland, along with cheerlore-loaded runway from Chopova Lowena and new designers to watch courtesy of FASHION EAST. Still to come, we've got the likes of Mains, Simone Rocha and Dilara Findikoglu — not forgetting the closing show from Burberry still to come.

Secondhand Fashion from eBay and Vinted

It's been a few seasons since secondhand fashion made its debut on the runway and now, we can't imagine London Fashion Week without it. Kicking things off with eBay's "Endless Runway," styled by Amy Bannerman, the show featured pre-loved looks courtesy of  Ahluwalia, Conner Ives and ERDEM, complete with slogan tees, Havaianas and killer accessories.

Vinted was up next, partnering with Oxfam to present "Style for Change," styled by Bay Garnett. With a stellar cast of British athletes, artists and personalities, the showcase featured the likes of singer Sam Ryder, Paralympian Kadeena Cox and activist Munroe Bergdorf.

Di Petsa's Grecian Odyssey

Titled "The Archaeology of Self," Di Petsa's transcendent showcase looked to explore the inner workings of our psyche in the same way that we look at ancient temples. Focusing on the way archaeologists brush away "centuries of earth" to reveal what lies underneath, this season's Di Petsa show did the very same, only with models, mud and Greek-inspired designs.

Chopova Lowena's Cheerlore

Chopova Lowena presented a masterclass in teamwork this season, taking us back to the good ole high-school days, but with a twist. Presenting its "Cheerlore" collection, the set was complete with fluffy mascots, neon lights and plenty of chips, followed by a thumping soundtrack and a vibrant spirit. Taking inspiration from American football, cheerleading and Southern Bulgarian "karakachani" costumes, the result was a blend of individuality, contemporary varsity and clashing colors.

Karina Bond's Futuristic Fantasy

Forget AI-generated illusions, Karina Bond’s SS26 collection, “The Midnight Sun”, is crafting the future for real. In a truly stunning display of innovation, Bond uses a 3D pen to draw zero-waste, biodegradable garments from thin air, creating what she calls a "futuristic second skin." The finale golden gown, she told us backstage post-show, was assembled from 5,000 individually drawn discs (5kg of TPU filament) and took over six weeks to construct. “I want to be one of the first designers to create fully wearable 3D printed clothing,” she explained. “So that [when you go into the store] there's no stock: you just go in, get 3D scanned, pick the outfit and it is printed to perfectly fit your body.”
