This season, London Fashion Week (LFW) Spring/Summer 2025 brought a remarkable fusion of British heritage and bold creativity to the runway. Celebrating 40 years of London being at the forefront of global fashion, the city has once again proven its status as one of the most influential fashion capitals in the world. The collections on display inspire us to refresh our wardrobes and offer an exciting glimpse into future trends. And the best part? You can stay on top of these trends without the full commitment by renting designer pieces at a fraction of the cost with Something Borrowed.
pre-loved fashion
Beyond the usual runway buzz, sustainability took centre stage at this year's LFW. In an effort to promote more mindful consumption, eBay hosted a runway showcasing pre-loved Fashion Week staples, highlighting the growing importance of secondhand fashion. Iconic designers like Mulberry, Alexander McQueen, and Chopova Lowena were featured, underscoring that luxury doesn’t always have to be new. Renting or buying pre-loved designer pieces allows you to both stay stylish and make more eco-conscious choices.
brat fashion week
Brat vs Demure emerged as a dominant trend this season. H&M took the spotlight with their exclusive party featuring pop icon Charli XCX, embodying the rebellious Brat Queen style and unveiling the brand’s new bold look during LFW.
no-makeup glow
On the other side of the spectrum, some designers embraced a more minimalistic, demure, natural aesthetic. Johanna Parv exemplified this with her "no makeup" runway, a celebration of natural beauty and confidence. Her show wasn't just about the clothes but about lifestyle and self-expression, embracing the idea that no makeup is the new makeup - focusing on enhancing the models' natural beauty with effortless elegance.
