The Art of Being: Inside London Fashion Day 2025 and the Rise of Independent Creativity
- 8 November 2025
The sixth season of London Fashion Day took place on 1 November 2025, bringing together a diverse community of designers, artists, media, and fashion professionals inside the historic walls of St John’s Church in central London. With a record number of guests, an inspiring Pop-Up Corner Space, and an expanded designer line-up, this season proved that independent fashion continues to lead with meaning, innovation, and heart.
Under the creative theme “The Art of Being”, Season 6 explored the idea that authenticity is the new luxury — and that fashion has the power to be deeply human. The concept was embodied not only in the collections, but also in the casting, production and storytelling of the event.
“In 2025, being yourself is a creative statement,” — said Konstantin Lieontiev, founder and producer of London Fashion Day. “Every season, we bring together voices that might not otherwise share a stage — and when they do, something powerful happens.”
The runway featured a curated selection of designers from across the UK, Europe, and beyond, including: London College of Contemporary Arts (LCCA), Relique London, VELGUD presented by Global Fashion Net, TIDE CHEN, Sara K Couture, LENIE BOYA х MALUSHA, Maison Sophy G, KochHouse, Mogardi, CHARS, FRENCHEYE, The Moodi Studio.
The LCCA showcase opened the day with five emerging talents whose collections lit up the runway with raw creativity and promise: Juli Cesar Sandoval Retamozo (@casasandovalondon), Galia Nedeva (@nedevagalya), Deanne Melody Jade Forbes (@chinkz.ltd / @dstarz.designltd), Cristian Lorenzo Artiles Orosa (@orosa.studio), and Khaos Rose Blakk (@khaos.r.blakk).
Each collection brought a unique voice — from couture silhouettes charged with symbolism to streetwear infused with storytelling — proving that fashion thrives when it’s personal, inclusive, and fearlessly expressive.
One moment it was romance in motion, another — raw emotion stitched into form. Every designer brought something real, unfiltered, and full of heart.
The Pop-Up Corner Space showcased a range of brands and partners including Posomo × Femoni, the winner of London Fashion Day’s emerging designer open call, presenting a powerful fashion manifesto that blurred the lines between style and spirituality.
Season 6 was also a testament to the power of collaboration. Behind the scenes, a network of partners and institutions helped shape a bold and meaningful edition.
