From streetwear to elegant evening dresses, the catwalks of London Fashion Week were not short of choices as designers showcased their collections for spring and summer 2024.

JW Anderson and clay

The invitation to the show of the fashion label JW Anderson was a block of clay, arousing the curiosity of the guests.

The first models walked down the catwalk in Bermuda shorts and hoodies made from play-dough, resembling moving sculptures.

Then followed colourful ensembles from a shiny plastic material, crochet dresses and feathers worn as belts and on sleeves.

Jonathan Anderson also showcased oversized bomber jackets, long enough to cover the thighs, and trenchcoats with long skirts.

"Using jackets as dresses becomes very simple," Anderson, who is also the creative director of Spanish fashion house Loewe, explained after the show.

His show, a staple of London Fashion Week, attracted celebrities including British actresses Suki Waterhouse and Jenna Coleman as well as actor Ncuti Gatwa of the TV show "Sex Education".

Vogue's editor-in-chief Anna Wintour was also among the guests, sitting next to Edward Enninful, the outgoing editor-in-chief of British Vogue.

Enninful will be stepping down in January to take on a global advisor role at Vogue publisher Conde Nast.

Media reports have suggested a power struggle between the two but it did not show in front of the cameras.

Red carpet fashion

London-based designer David Koma is known for his contouring dresses.

At his show, models walked the runway to the music of Beyonce, who is listed among the clients of the Georgian designer.
