London Fashion Week Spring 2021

London Fashion Week’s spring 2021 season does not look like any other before it. With the vast majority of brands, from Burberry to Erdem, staging virtual-only presentations, LFW has gone from a rapid sprint from Mayfair to Hackney to the Tate Modern to a leisurely stroll between the select in-person appointments, restricted to fewer than six people at a time. Still, even in these quiet moments, there is a street style to be found. Paul Gonzales is on the scene, reporting from physical events for Molly Goddard, Simone Rocha, and more.

A batch of new talents from around the world has also joined the fashion week, despite challenges posed by the pandemic, to present their latest creations in London. Here, WWD highlights three emerging designers to watch for this season.

A finalist for the LVMH Prize, Susan Fang’s beaded marble bags are one of the hottest accessories at the moment. Based between London and Shanghai, the brand has built up good momentum in China, and this season, she is joining London Fashion Week’s official calendar for the first time to present her colourful and airy spring 2021 collection with a short filmed in Shanghai, just a few days ahead of London Fashion Week.

Fang said she wanted to bring hope and the feeling of rebirth with her collection, as the pandemic has totally changed the way she works. “I reached out to nature once more for my inspirations, a place where it feels safe and dreamlike floating between nostalgic moments of childhood and renewed energy,” she said.
