The British Fashion Council (BFC) has revealed the provisional line-up for the upcoming London Fashion Week (LFW) taking place between 17 and 22 September.

The co-ed event will be a mix of digital and physical events and feature the likes of Burberry, Richard Quinn, Matty Bovan, Emilia Wickstead, Rixo, Phoebe English and Bianca Saunders.

Like other international fashion weeks, LFW was forced to cancel its physical event in June following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. BFC instead launched its first gender neutral, entirely digital format between 12 and 15 June. The three-day catwalkless event comprised films, video discussions and workshops, among other things, hosted by designers, creatives, artists and brand partners.

However, under government social distancing guidelines, the upcoming hybrid LFW will be able to once again host physical shows paired with digital activations on londonfashionweek.co.uk.

The provisional line-up has been split into three sections for the brands, designers and broader companies attending: those participating in purely physical forms, those participating in both digital and physical forms, and those participating in purely digital forms (the majority).

Brands and designers showcasing in physical-only formats are: Amanda Wakeley, Roksanda, Sharon Wauchob, Simone Rocha, and the University of Westminster Menswear.

Those participating in digital and physical formats are: Bethany Williams, Bora Asku, Burberry, David Koma, Emilia Wickstead, Emilio de la Morena, Erdem, Eudon Choi, Feng Chen Wang, Halpern, Margaret Howell, Mark Fast, Osman Yousefzada, paria/Farzaneh, Paul Costelloe, Preen by Thornton Bregazzi, Pronounce, Richard Malone, Supriya Lele, Temperley London, Victoria Beckham.

As Covid-19 social safety measures are being eased across the world, fashion weeks are taking their first timid steps back into the physical realm. Earlier this month, Copenhagen Fashion Week merged physical and digital aspects for its 72-hour long hybrid showcase, which included a mix of classic catwalk staging, video presentations and panels talks. Similarly, New York Fashion Week and Milan Fashion Week will be launching physical and digital hybrid shows next month.
