There was a buzz in the air around 180 The Strand, the main hub of London’s spring/summer 2027 fashion week, as journalists and photographers gathered for the start of the festivities.
Passersby showed no shortage of stylish, contemporary looks. Take Chan Kai Lap Dean’s effortless ensemble, with a pop of colour from a red Jacquemus check bag.
A short while later, it was time to head to the Maximilian Raynor show in Russell Square. This is where things really came alive among the crowd of attendees. Couples co-ordinated in subtle, intentional ways while still honouring their individuality. Hironori Tada and Maliki Ando – the latter wearing a baseball cap that read “Running late” – exuded a modish Saturday morning casual.
In addition to the bold looks that turned heads, there was plenty of inspiring understated dressing. Trends from day one included silver shoes (think Wales Bonner silver Adidas Samba sneakers) and pops of colour such as yellow.
From the Strand to Russell Square, Marylebone to Knightsbridge, these street style looks spoke to the aliveness of London’s fashion scene this season.
This trio outside of Mark Fast brought colour and seventies flair.
As another Mark Fast showgoer proved, all-black will always be in style.
A zebra-print skirt and purple bag add visual interest to an otherwise understated look.
