Alexander McQueen returns to London

The brand moved its runway shows back from Paris after a quarter-century absence. Creative director Seán McGirr presented designs featuring devil horns, lace corsets, and chainmail skull dresses.

Mulberry makes its debut collection

Christopher Kane launched his first collection for the label following a nine-year gap in London shows. The presentation focused heavily on leather items including coats, skirts, and loafers alongside the Baywater bag.

Messy girl aesthetic leads trends

Vogue Business deputy director Elektra Kotsoni identified the messy girl look as the top trend for the season. This style serves as a reaction to the clean girl and luxury aesthetics that dominated social media feeds last year.
