London Fashion Week brands, designers who grabbed attention with their democratic and wearable collections
London Fashion Week wakes up: as much as the city is dubbed the 'creative' out of the four fashion capitals, this season, designers who have survived the pandemic have put on their commercial caps, embraced sustainability and body diversity.
In this long fashion game, designers realized the importance of creating democratic collections and involving everyone.

Sophie Albou of Paul & Joe presented her collection in a grand ballroom at the Langham Hotel worthy of its cottagecore twee collection of bright pastel hues and pretty floral prints. She was inspired by the children's novel "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Albou's lightweight tweed and plaid dungarees would fit perfectly into an adaptation of the film as well as into the wardrobes of well-to-do young women and their daughters.

Rixo co-founders Henrietta Rix and Orlagh McCloskey will have their Spring 2023 collection available in an expanded size range in the UK 6 to 24 – for a mid-priced company like theirs, this is a key decision, especially when Catherine, Princess of Wales wears your designs. The collection included over 100 looks, which is tiring to sift through, but that's exactly what their UK customers want. The key pieces were Blake & Apple and Kamilla with bohemian prints reminiscent of vintage Biba patterns.
