London Fashion Week’s Fall/Winter 2026 edition will mark a significant moment for British fashion as several iconic designers return to the runway after extended absences. Temperley London will rejoin the schedule for the first time since September 2019 to celebrate its 25th anniversary, while Julien MacDonald makes a comeback following his last show in February 2023. Most notably, Joseph will present on the main schedule for the first time since September 2017, showcasing the second collection under creative director Mario Arena, who joined the heritage brand in October 2024.
Joseph’s Fashion Week Return Signals New Chapter
The brand’s comeback carries significant weight, with CEO Barbara Campos stating that “returning to the London Fashion Week schedule is an important milestone in Joseph’s evolution and marks the beginning of a new chapter for the house.” Under Arena’s direction, Joseph aims to honor founder Joseph Ettedgui’s legacy as a visionary who pushed boundaries in fashion. This return demonstrates the British Fashion Council’s commitment to supporting established brands alongside growth opportunities.
New Talents Join Established Fashion House Names
The provisional schedule also features returning designers Chet Lo, John Richmond, Masha Popova, and Phoebe English, alongside established mainstays including Burberry, Emilia Wickstead, Erdem, Richard Quinn, and Simone Rocha. New entries include accessories designer Clara Chu, craft-led Indian brand Raw Mango, and Selasi, a made-to-order label founded by photographer Ronan Mckenzie. The British Fashion Council continues waiving show fees for those presenting physically on the main schedule and has doubled investment in its International Guest Program. London Fashion Week runs February 19-23, 2026.
