In the party of our dreams Fenty Hair,
sister company to Fenty Beauty and
Fenty Skin, took over Selfridges in
their ‘Mane Street’ party to launch the
brand in the UK which is now available
exclusively in four British Selfridges
stores: London Oxford Street,
Birmingham Bullring, Manchester
Trafford Centre, and Manchester Exchange, as well as on Selfridges.com.

But we’re not just jealous of Rhianna’s hair. To attend the Fenty Hair party, Rhianna styled a plunging, off the shoulder, teddy coat by Jacquemus, expertly cinched at the waist to show off those iconic curves. Elevating the game with gold stilettos elongating her gorgeous legs, the look was paired with Hassanzadeh Jewellery’s stunning gold earrings and rings to tie the look together.

A-Listers on the guestlist included Jess Glynne, Alex Scott, Former Love Island contestant Indiyah Polak, and Rhianna herself among other gorgeous celebs with hair that is now more enviable than ever!

But the party doesn’t end there! At the London Oxford Street store, the Selfridges pop-up will stick around, allowing us to get a taste of the Fenty Hair range. Guests will enter the salon where customers can book a 1:1 hair consultation or styling service with a Fenty Hairstylist. Customers can pick a look from the Fenty Hair lookbook and be guided to choose the right product line-up for their hair type while being engulfed in the signature warm, amber scent of the hair range to complete the luxury experience.

And Rhianna’s iconic style hasn’t stopped there! Recently spotted rocking an intricate, complex Jawara Alleyne piece styled by the genius Jahleel Weaver. The deep brown shade glistened with its’ sheer texture in a wrap style with multiple weaves, tucks, and ties that hug Riri’s curves in all the right places. Paired with chunky gold jewellery and ski-style sunglasses, we know that autumn is well underway with this deep chocolate tone.

The post Rhianna’s Mane Street Party Takes Over London for Launch Of Fenty Hair appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Karoline Vitto

Known for celebrating the natural female form in the most thoughtful way possible, Karoline Vitto has continued to celebrate curves and accentuate folds in her LWF show. While some designers dress plus size models as an afterthought, Karoline Vitto has always had curvy queens at the heart of her label, designing clothes to empower every woman and every body type as a rebellion to the restrictive beauty standards of ‘90s Brazil, where she grew up. Placing the body at the centre of the design process, these SS25 designs for LFW are bold, unforgettable, and unapologetic in their celebration of curvy and plus size models, really showcasing how beautiful their runway is.

Encapsulating an earth tone palette with pops of pink and red scattered throughout, what sets Karoline Vitto apart is the ambitious cut-outs in the pieces, utilising the body itself as an integral piece of the design. Often seen accompanying the cut outs are pops of silver wiring, highlighting and drawing attention to the skin, daring you to look away, and knowing you can’t.

Influencer and plus size model Felicity Hayward has also expressed her love for Karoline Vitto this LFW, seen wearing a gifted dress by the designer to attend the show, and taking to Instagram to express how emotional she is to see

the front row full of plus size guests, explaining ‘do you know how important this is for us?’ and thanking Karoline Vitto for ‘making [her] feel seen’.

Chet Lo

With ambitious texture at its core, Chet Lo has again been showcasing his extensive knitwear knowledge through his SS25 show at LFW. The 3D textured spikes in knitted fabrics take centre-stage in a grey-scale colour palette accompanied by pops of blue, teal, and duck egg in a perfect homage to a pastel spring season in 2025.

But the fashion isn’t all we’re praising Chet Lo for this September, with the designer revolutionising fashion shows for the blind and visually impaired. Previously, visually impaired fashion fans have been an afterthought with runways being such a visual expereince. But working with non-profit Hair & Care, an organisation supporting visually impaired women care for their hair, Chet Lo was able to develop a third runway show, featuring a prerecorded audio description of the garments along with a tactile tour of the collection 30 minutes prior to the show commencing, to allow guests to take in and digest the information before providing textured fabric swatches to experience during the show. 20 blind / visually impaired guests were invited to the show and expressed their love and gratitude to Chet Lo for this unforgettable experience. Having always been very inclusive with the casting, Chet Lo explained that the show “felt like a natural extension to that”.

HARRI

Breaking the mould both socially and literally is HARRI with bold new silhouettes in their signature black latex stealing the show at LFW. The bold dom style is all about expressing innovative takes on structure and form, creating a visually explorative catwalk seeking to revolutionise conventional body shape in a celebration of the weird and wonderful. Awarded the Practical

Intelligent Genius Foundation prize, the Indian born artist behind the label has once again showed that style knows no bounds in the SS25 show.

From Harri’s passion for bodybuilding his experimental take on form takes shape and illustrates how one’s form should be highlighted and accentuated as a pledge to non-conformity.

Nensi Dojaka

Bringing sexy back is the exceptional Nensi Dojaka, who has been perfecting her craft since the label’s debut in 2019, with her LFW SS25 catwalk. Specialising in intricate strap work and use of sheer fabrics, pieces expertly portray how lingerie washed in luxury can empower the wearer and expertly showcase the feminine form. In a balance of strength and delicacy, the runway was hot with nude tones, earthy burgundies, and subtle pinks to celebrate nudity in their collaboration with design powerhouse, Calvin Klein. Dojaka’s signature juxtaposition of delicate fabrics, muted colours, and daring silhouettes can be seen on their runway this fashion week

Nensi Dojaka’s background in architecture is more apparent than ever in her designs this week through the use of geometric strap work, casting shapes and shadows across chest and torso in a labyrinth of sensuality. Dojaka has also been outspoken in her advocacy for inclusion, with “the idea of putting [the pieces] on women of different backgrounds and different shapes” being imperative to decision making, and the image of the campaign.

Di Petsa

Aphrodite was born of the seafoam, rising out of the water on the shore of Cyprus, and Greek designer Dimitra Petsa knows the birth of beauty herself all too well. In the bold exploration of an ecofeminist relationship between women and water, design powerhouse Di Petsa has shown London what it means to live on Olympus this LFW. The brand’s ethos is the careful combination of

traditional craftsmanship, sustainable textile development, and drapery techniques with performance, art, and film to build timeless, ethereal pieces that last the test of time.

Their SS25 collection, showed at LFW, takes their signature mermaid- esque look and combines it with a warmer colour palette to move their siren aesthetic toward a more goddess-centred look. Focusing on experimental cut- outs, gold accessories, warm tones, and denim Di Petsa are making waves with their new terrain while staying true to their wet roots and fluid fabric.

Stealing the show was influencer and plus size male model, James Corbin, who beautifully debuted Di Petsa’s male wear collection. Looking as though he rose from the sea foam himself, Corbin was draped in Di Petsa’s signature Wetlook fabric, coloured in a warm blend of orange, pink, and maroon tones exquisitely complimenting his rich skin tone. While runways have taken amazing strides in body inclusivity for women, plus size male models are unfortunately still a rarity, but there is no one better to lead the movement than James Corbin who so expertly took to the catwalk and walked for men everywhere.

Masha Popova

In their SS25 collection, Impulse, grunge experts Masha Popova have expertly combined sensuality with playful draping in an oxymoronic collection that is both elegant and care-free. Ukrainian designer Popova has fused fantasy with her Ukrainian roots in an homage to her childhood memories in a collage of modern high fashion and raw energy of the ‘90s and early 2000s. The SS25 collection was a masterclass in denim, tie-dye, and acid wash, using her signature faded denim textile and complementary muted colours in a beautifully retro aesthetic.

Sinead Gorey

School is in session, and we’re all invited to the LFW school disco which quickly became the talk of the cafeteria. In a runway situated in a sports hall lined with streamers and balloons, the class of SS25 graced the runway in pastels, stripes, and high tops in an aesthetic that can only be described as where preppy meets grunge. Inspired by party culture, Gorey shares her love for bold prints, extreme cutouts, and youthful colours in a rave aesthetic that reminds the audience that fashion is supposed to be fun! Her use of plaid, stripes, and laces are also reminiscent of our school days in a style that Avril Levine herself would be proud of.

And like so many others this LFW, Sinead Gorey understands the importance of body inclusion and has incorporated many body shapes and sizes into her runway. Remining the audience that there is no ‘one size fits all’ in creativity, we have all been invited to don our Converse and spike the punch bowl next spring / summer.

Completedworks

In a piece eloquently titled ‘A Stone is a Small Mountain’, Completedworks’ SS25 jewellery collection took centre stage in their runway that brought a timeless essence to a melancholy beauty. A tortured ballerina draped in pearls is the archetype for their collection, taking inspiration from hope for a better future in their mission for sustainability and responsibly sourced materials. This gothic coquette look is effortlessly Tim Burton meets Black Swan in a stunning exploration of form, with pieces that weave, flow, loop, twist, and expand in a bid to “explore the questions of the human condition, history, politics, language, and art”.

Tolu Coker

In her new collection for SS25, LFW has been teleported back to the ‘70s in a sentimental ode to her mother, Olapeju Coker. The name Olapeju means ‘wealth

gathers’ and Tolu Coker has taken this meaning to heart in her expression of the wealth of community and culture through her sustainable, luxury fashion. With the show space being transformed into her late father’s living room adorned with photographs of proud black women posing in puff sleeves and sculptured head wraps, Coker expresses her British-Nigerian heritage in her collection rooted in community, craftsmanship, and culture.

Founded in 2021, this label has always had powerful black women at its’ heart and has continued this legacy in LFW, casting black models in a beautiful runway carrying a notable ‘70s aesthetic through earth tones and vintage designs. The pops of vibrant green throughout the show add a pinch of the contemporary to the collection while paying homage to the Nigerian flag.

Mains London

At the forefront of the grime-scene is rapper, producer, and filmmaker, Skepta’s fashion venture Mains London. In a distinctive style he calls ‘hood luxury’, Skepta is taking on a new vibe for SS25 in an ‘Ivy League’ look that adds a preppy aesthetic to the primarily sportwear designs. Seen on their runway is shiny textures and fabrics this September, utilising leathers and latex to add this note to the looks which perfectly accompanies the ‘old money’ sense being portrayed. Hints of baggy and oversized silhouettes, which are very apparent in current runways and collections, have been spotted but in a subtle way, effortlessly adding to the nonchalant ease of the collection. Showcasing an all- American colour palette of red, white, blue, and beige, Mains London has managed to keep in tone with its’ sporty and streetwise essence through styling boxing shorts and trainers but has managed to move into a sophisticated and studious aesthetic in a natural way that makes sense for the brand.

KNWLS

Brains behind KNWLS, Charlotte Knowles, has showcased her SS25 collection, Haze, in an expert blend of femininity with a rebellious edge. The use of leather, floating fabrics, and barely-there mesh in a kaleidoscope of earth tones on her runway give a fierce and bold take on classically feminine silhouettes, fabrics, and patterns. Known for her acid wash finish on leather, Knowles has managed to encompass the bold and the demure in her looks, utilising soft pastel greens to soften the shiny leather fabric. The sheer, mesh fabric has been used for blocking in some pieces to create geometric designs while tassels, laces, and ribbons have become an overarching motif to her collection, adding a unique and distinctive movement to her pieces.

Richard Quinn

Effortlessly chic Richard Quinn has graced LFW in an SS25 runway that is as timeless and elegant as ever. Bold and emotive garments in striking black and white fabrics littered with 3D motifs to further enhance their iconic old money aesthetic have been showcased, highlighting Quinn’s meticulous attention to detail. Feathers, flowers, and 3D fabrics have redefined high fashion sensibility with a couture-inspired edge adding explorative texture to a black-tie dress code, while exaggerated, oversized silhouettes add a contemporary, modern flair to the collection. The Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design recipient has stayed true to their signature florals, evening silhouettes, and statement outerwear in this collection, combining enviable handcrafted skill with innovative fabrications in a truly iconic statement.

Natasha Zinko

Pioneer in the gender fluidity of fashion is designer Natasha Zinko, whose emphasis on sustainable, recycles materials, and open approach to ‘gendered’ clothing has redefined ‘unisex’. Unisex in fashion typically translates to the absence of gender in a garment, but in Zinko’s LFW collection, she has kept the

essence of typical feminine and masculine clothing in her unisex clothing, creating accessible pieces for all genders to explore without losing this essence that is so intrinsically linked to identity and expression.

In a collage of daring cutouts, floral prints, denim, and leather, the SS25 collection most notably features the innovative use of safety pins both in cut- outs and in the absence of fabric. Giving a new identity to recycled materials, this is perhaps the most ambitious definition of recycled material, but reward definitely comes with this risk as no one can take their eyes off of these pieces perfectly encompassing delicate and robust.

The post 13 Designers You Need to Know About at London Fashion Week appeared first on Voir Fashion.

London Fashion Week couldn’t have ended with a bigger bang than Mowalola’s spectacular show, Dirty Diop. Buckle up because nothing could’ve prepared us for the creative chaos, electrifying energy, and jaw-dropping fashion moments that took place on that runway.

Voir was right in the thick of it, and we’re bringing you the spark that had the audience on fire.

Welcome to MOWA WORLD

Nigerian designer Mowalola Ogunlesi turned up the heat with her bold, unapologetic collection that defied the limits of what fashion can be. Bigger and wilder than ever, this show felt less like a presentation and more like a fever dream of edgy, rebellious, and liberated expression.

As our editor Jyoti Matoo said,

“You know you’re invited to something big, but nothing prepares you for the madness and genius you’re about to witness. You walk into a hangar, and the energy slaps you in the face. Just what, just wow.”

A Show on Fire

The atmosphere? Unmatched. Mowalola took us to an underground rave, a private night of mayhem. The set, designed by Tor Studio, featured a customized neon-lit cage, an electric bed, and an all-encompassing vibe that screamed unapologetic fashion rebellion.

Models strutted, danced, and checked themselves out in bathroom mirrors, while electro-rock guitar riffs flooded the space, thanks to Foushee and her electric guitar performance.

The star-studded lineup? Unforgettable. With icons like Irina Shayk, Yves Tumor (aka Sean Lee Bowie), and Crystalmess, gracing the runway, each brought their own edge to Mowalola’s unhinged universe.

Irina Shayk, who opened the previous show, this time closed the curtain with an aura that left us in awe.

The Performance of Fashion

It wasn’t just a fashion show—it was a performance. Mowalola herself took to the runway alongside Detoblack and Chi, turning the show into a real-time, multimedia art piece.

Belen Mar Leroux also gave us a fierce performance, crawling on all fours with an iconic head toss, adding to the wild energy of the event.

Beauty That Commanded Attention

The makeup was a work of art in itself, led by the legendary Isamaya Ffrench. Think: doe eyes with exaggerated lashes, sharp contours, and accentuated dark circles that gave each model an almost alien-like ethereal glow. It was raw, unapologetic, and totally in sync with the collection’s boldness. It wasn’t just makeup—it was a statement.

Details that Set the Stage on Fire

What truly made this collection iconic was the attention to detail. From the metal thongs that felt both avant-garde and daring to red ensembles and tights that dominated the collection, each piece brought something fresh to the table, giving to the show, a raw, sensual aesthetic.

Innovative fashion moments were abundant: animal prints, latex nearly everywhere, mini skirts paired with custom masks emblazoned with “Mowalola,” oversized bags that read “Ebony,” and bold, structured vests. The 3D makeup work by TildaX further enhanced the futuristic, boundary-pushing look.

A priceless fashion mood board universe, Mowalola dives us deep into her world, where fashion is performance, art, and rebellion.

Street style has solidified itself as part of those oh-so-important quarterly weeks, and we’re here to show you our absolute favourite street style moments from the streets of London fashion week 2022.

Simone Rocha designs featured heavily throughout the streets of London fashion week, as we’re sure you’ll come to see the further down you go. Pretty, frilly designs juxtaposed against loud or textured accessories such as platform shoes, PVC coats, and intense reds seem to be a very popular choice.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. This rings very true for those at fashion week that decided to don a tailored suit around London town, and there were many of them. People of all genders were seen wearing fitted suits, many of which were pinstripe, with shades or casual shirts being used to dress down the look.

Soft tones and playful designs were very popular on and off the catwalk. Light, pastel colours and youthful graphics were spotted all over the streets and gave off a very fresh and innocent vibe.

One of the best parts of fashion week street style is that it brings out people of all backgrounds, all ages and all styles. This leather skirt and green blazer ensemble matched with black boots with green detailing is one of our absolute favourite looks from this fashion week, particularly its unorthodox textures and colouring – truly quintessential street style!

The point of street style is looking so cool, so undeniably stylish, that some photographer will come up to you and ask to take your picture. That’s why bright colours ranging from baby blues to neon green are always very popular, and we are loving this blue sequin blazer dress worn by wonderland editor-in-chief Toni-Blaze.

Eccentric patterns and clashing styles are always very popular as well. We particularly like this duo’s mutual love of polka dots and their unconventional ways of styling them.

Singer @floweroflove always brings it with her street style, so it’s no surprise she killed it again with this piece outside the Simone Rocha show. Her classic, cutesy style was on show with her go-to white sock kitten heel look seemingly unblemished by the dirty London streets – how??

We love this opposites attract street style photo because it really represents how diverse the streets during fashion week truly are. Neon tones with showy brand names and unorthodox elements vs understated black cuts – a match made in heaven.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, cyberpunk is in, just ask the kids. Platforms don’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon and the rise of ‘archive fashion’ was at full effect this London fashion week.

Finally, a name that’s been making waves for some time now, Harris Reed sported the go-to London Fashion Week street style suit. We love the many forms of street style that get showcased during fashion week, but the suit style is so tailor-made for London fashion week, it would be a crime to not wear it for at least one day when you’re going around The Big Smoke.

The post The Very Best Looks From The Streets Of London Fashion Week 2022 appeared first on Voir Fashion.

The show took place at the central location of The Londoner Hotel, in attendance was everyone from Kate Moss (supporting her daughter Lila Grace in the show) to Boy George, Drag-Race icons, Bimini Bon Boulash and Tayce, Derry-girl Nicola Coughlan, and Mabel.

Initial looks opened by referencing the full-body leotards (typically, in latex) which have become a signature for the brand, worn by Kendall Jenner, Cardi B, and Kim Petras. But something is different about them. The bodysuits have a looser fit and come in an array of bright, block colours; they are more comfortable and wearable for the everyday though still include Quinn’s touches of attached gloves, and trousers which stretch to cover even the model’s shoes.

Next is an array of quilted floral looks, a Richard Quinn staple. Full-face coverage of floral prints has been replaced with frilly bonnets encircling the model’s face, perhaps this is a more practical solution to achieve head-to-toe coverage? Gorgeous contrasts are achieved between the pastel florals and black or brown gloves, bonnets, and various undergarments.

Some of the models appear on the runway with minimalist brown totes, resembling a sized-up paper bag but made out of a heavy, lustrous fabric which implies luxury design reinspiring an everyday object. More large bags arrived on the runway, matching the quilted effect created on puffer jackets via ballooning and stretching. These bubble-like bags match the head-to-toe floral looks constructed of quilted gilets, leggings, bonnets, gloves, and cape-like dresses.

A return to royalty which often inspires Richard Quinn appeared in the form of corsets and mini dresses with the appearance of short petticoats. A galore of intricate jewels and sequins created the appearance of royal dress seen in portraits where layers upon layers of rich, luxury jewels were stacked on complex garments.

Quite literally, Quinn’s description that it’s ‘almost like we’ve gone into our archive and slashed it’, comes alive when the gowns arrived on the runway. Voluptuous, ballooning ballgowns appear bisected, with trousers and leggings peering out from between the flowing, detached material of the skirt. Simple blocks of colour come together in the gowns effectively, creating divisions between draped tops, pleated skirts, and the leggings or trousers peeking out underneath the ensemble.

The collection closes with a gorgeous cobalt-blue mini dress of tiered pleated layers paired with neon green accents, a reflective purple dress ruched to create an elevated train, and a simplistic white long-sleeve, a-line dress caged by tulle flowers and sparkling wire.

This collection proved Richard Quinn is constantly evolving, re-thinking signatures and offering a new perspective for buyers every season. It is clear that the marks of latex, florals and head-to-toe coverage are here to stay at Richard Quinn but that does not mean the looks are placed within an immovable box. Rather Quinn accepts the challenge to reinvent and evolve what are already staples of the brand, and generate excitement as to what we can expect at the next London Fashion Week!

London fashion week is the prized seasonal event which is eagerly anticipated by the fashion industry big players and stylish consumers alike. LFW fuses the latest creations by both established fashion houses and rising independent designers, curated into a beautiful showcase of a runway for the world to admire.

Year after year LFW has provided in-person shows which have seen their fair share of faces from around the world. However, with government restrictions to social gatherings causing strife throughout 2020 and with the recent news of another UK national lockdown, the British Fashion Council have decided to host the majority of LFW shows through a digital platform, with a minority of shows being showcased in and around London.

The LFW runway schedule will be running between 19-23 February, with an exciting list of an eclectic mix of designers which has been released for preview on the official LFW website. The line-up boasts familiar names such as Emilia Wickstead and ERDEM, as well as up and coming talent such as Matty Bovan and EFTYCHIA.

Another adjustment LFW are making this year is the merging of LFW menswear and womenswear collections. This is to promote a genderless showcase of work that illustrates an inclusive future for fashion.

This is the replacement model for men’s fashion week, which would be otherwise held in January but cannot go ahead due to the latest Covid-19 and post Brexit constrictions which would arise challenges surrounding the movement of goods and samples in a single market and customs union.

Caroline Rush, BFC chief executive said: “As the fashion industry moves towards a more sustainable and responsible future in line with the newly formed Institute of Positive Fashion, our aim is to continue to redefine our fashion week model, embracing digital and technological innovation while offering ideas and solutions that will work for all designer businesses. Moving LFWM into LFW in February will continue to de-gender LFW, allow designers greater flexibility to consider what collection they show when and minimise travel requirements, taking us one step closer to a more sustainable future.”

While this change of how we celebrate new designers and collections is inevitable, we can choose to view this change in an optimistic light and continue to use the platform of LFW as it was intended to be used; to support the future of fashion and its creators.
