London Fashion Week 2023 is set to take place from February 17h to February 21th, showcasing the latest collections from some of the most talented designers in the industry. The event, which is organised by the British Fashion Council, will feature a mix of physical and digital shows, allowing designers to showcase their work to a global audience.
This year’s event line-up includes a diverse range of designers, including the iconic British luxury brand Burberry. Of course, it will be an important collection for the brand as it will be presenting their first collection under the new creative direction of Daniel Lee. Other remarcable names that will be present at this edition are Conner Ives, 16Arlington, Christopher Kane, Ahluwalia, Richard Quinn, Paul Costelloe, Molly Goddard, Roksanda and Simone Rocha.
After a remarcable last LFW edition that took place in September 2022, British Fashion Council has announced this spring’s edition in February 2023. The London Fashion Week spring/summer 2023 runway presentations featured several tributes to Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away on September 8.
London Fashion Week Presentations and Catwalk Shows
Moreover, Ukrainian Fashion Week will present three Ukrainian designers FROLOV, KSENIASCHNAIDER and PASKAL as part of “Support Ukrainian Fashion”. ,,The show will be an opportunity to showcase the diversity, creativity and talent of Ukraine’s fashion scene, and the courage, resilience and resistance of Ukrainian designers striving for a peaceful future.”
Another highlight of the week will be the BFC Designer Showrooms, which will feature a selection of emerging designers from around the world, selected by a panel of industry experts. This is a great opportunity for these young designers to showcase their work to a global audience and gain recognition in the industry.

Burberry collection
Burberry is a high-end British company with its headquarters in London.
One of the most highly-anticipated shows of the week is Burberry‘s, with the debut of Daniel Lee. After he left Bottega, Lee was named chief creative officer of Burberry in October and he is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the iconic British brand. Under Lee’s watch, Bottega’s signature bright green became the hottest colour in fashion.
Burberry has been led by the core idea that Creativity Opens Spaces ever since it was founded in 1856. The goal is to unleash the power of creativity to push boundaries and generate new opportunities for its employees, customers, and communities. From creating outerwear that enabled adventurous men and women to push the limits of human endeavour to becoming a luxury pioneer in the digital realm.
