A particularly warm September welcomed the spring summer 24 shows to London this week, and the street style cognoscenti have taken full advantage of the balmy weather. Whilst many A-list attendees are chauffeured between their invite-only shows and parties, the style peacocks are providing a spectacle and photo opportunities in the city streets where everyone’s invited.
The Chopova Lowena tartan kilt is a street style staple
/ LaunchmetricsSo far London Fashion Week has felt like one big summer garden party; shows have taken place beside the Barbican’s water fountains (Roksanda), among the flowerbed of St Cyprian’s Curch courtyard (Mithridate) and under the glass dome of The Royal Horticultural Halls (Paul Costelloe). We’ve spied whimsical one-pieces and vibrant tartans, while neon green and no-explanation-needed-pink have also been popular choices for those trying to grab photographers’ attention.

/ LaunchmetricsSkirts have won over trousers so far, with kilts and pleats continue enjoying a moment — the result of the growing appeal of Chopova Lowena, a label which has achieved the biggest reinvention of tartan since the late Vivienne Westwood. To keep cool, others in the capital are going for micro-minis, paired with collared shirts or high necks.
Whilst power-walking is inevitable for fashionably late show-goers, they are nonetheless ditching trainers and laces, opting instead for kitten heels and buckles. The ballet-pump frenzy, courtesy of Miu Miu, is not over yet, but as autumn draws closer, knee-high biker boots and platform mules are joining the parade.

The heritage label is undergoing a rebrand, complete with a new logo and fresh colour palette. The forecast for the occasion? More tartan, plus trench coats and, fittingly, rain.
