How often does London Fashion Week take place?
London Fashion Week is a biannual event that takes place twice a year, in February and September. An additional schedule for June has been added for this year, making it a triannual event.
Before the pandemic, London Fashion Week Men’s also took place in January each year – but the menswear collections have now been merged into February’s event to create a genderless showcase each year.
Speaking of the move towards a more progressive Fashion Week, BFC chairwoman Caroline Rush said, “As the fashion industry moves towards a more sustainable and responsible future in line with the newly formed Institute of Positive Fashion [the BFC’s responsible fashion hub], our aim is to continue to redefine our fashion week model, embracing digital and technological innovation while offering ideas and solutions that will work for all designer businesses.
