Each year, London Fashion Week is a consistent thrill—a real joy, an exercise in out-there creativity, and an opportunity for emerging designers and storied fashion houses alike to reveal their deepest fantasies. As we’ve described it in the past, “There’s no better place on Earth than London Fashion Week for designers looking to let their freak flags fly.” This year was no different—at least, when it came to the clothing. Molly Goddard, Riccardo Tisci at Burberry, Simone Rocha, and more revealed their idiosyncratic wares for fall 2021 digitally, beginning on February 19. Although the platform was different against the backdrop of the pandemic, the message was the same: these were some killer clothes. See our favorites, below.
