London Fashion Week: AW22 - The Calendar Magazine

Renewed energy, optimism and boundless creativity were the hallmarks of a thrilling London Fashion Week which saw a new wave of talent rule the London runways, displaying innovation, joy and a bold new approach to dressing up again. Also a creative approach to making fashion more sustainable was in evidence and beautifully so. We were thrilled to see talents such as Harris Reed, Priya Ahluwalia and Conner Ives incorporate vintage upholstery fabrics, responsible materials and upcycled looks from seasons past. Here is the Calendar Magazine edit of standout moments:
