London Fashion Week marks its 40th anniversary this year, with thousands of city venues being transformed into fashion show spaces for one-night-only events. Stylish crowds have been out in full force for the Spring/Summer 2025 collections, showcasing both established and emerging talent for the upcoming season.
Here are some of Twin’s highlights.
Chopova Lowena
On Friday evening, Chopova Lowena invited guests to the derelict basement of Shoreditch Town Hall, and combined playful references like the Wild West, can-can dancers, and Victorian Halloween costumes. Their signature carabiner clip kilts were ever-present, along with whimsical charm details. Titled “Chuckaboo,” the show had models racing through abandoned rooms accompanied by heavy metal soundtracks.
The English-Bulgarian duo debuted two collaborations: one with Asics, reimagining the GEL Quantum 360 VIII sneakers with butterflies, rhinestones, and flowers; and another with Hellmann’s Mayonnaise. A version of the brand’s leather “Margaret” shoulder bag was designed to carry a jar of the much-loved condiment, complete with a Victorian silver spoon and Hellmann’s blue charm.
JW Anderon
At JW Anderson, restriction is liberation.
Grounded in just four materials—cashmere, leather, silk, and sequins— Anderson’s SS25 collection featured echoes of previous designs, including optical illusion fastenings, buttery leather, liquid dresses, and oversized Argyle knits.
The Irish designer’s typical absurdity shone through in structural dresses with exaggerated hems and oversized pullovers mimicking sleek bomber jackets.
Nensi Dojaka
Albanian-born designer Nensi Dojaka returned to the runway after a two-season break, unveiling her collaboration with Calvin Klein and launching her e-shop on the same day. Since her rise in 2019, including winning the LVMH Prize in 2021 and dressing celebrities like Beyoncé and Dua Lipa, Dojaka has quickly become one of fashion’s most sought after brands.
Her signature lingerie-inspired designs were on full display, featuring stretch tulle layers, micro-drapes, and intricate strapwork. Models also were seen sporting body-clinging knitwear dresses, and leather bustier dresses.
“I think femininity is about embracing the contrast that lives within us: the balance between softness and strength,” Dojaka said in the show notes. This balance was undoubtedly at the core of her SS25 collection.
