Sapna’s London Fashion Week Diary
Created in partnership with PANDORA
THURSDAY
Charlotte and I kicked LFW off at the Pandora Talisman Party on Thursday night at the Garden Museum. I wore an oversized, boxy Atelier 95 suit – perfect for a day in the office followed by evening events. My Pandora ring stack, which has recently had a shake-up, elevated the look. My engagement ring has been a fun excuse to rethink my combinations – but some things never change, like my love of gold and silver stacking bands. This time, I added the chunky Rippled Statement Ring and a few sparkly touches to break things up.
The setting was as striking as the jewellery – the room was filled with some of my long-time Pandora favourites as well as the new Talisman collection. After a few canapés and drinks, it was time for the H&M show at 180 Strand. Full of slouchy boots, lace layering and even furry shoes, the collection was playful but considered – and there was a performance from Lola Young, along with plenty of famous faces in the crowd. We made a quick pit stop at the H&M after-party before calling it a night.
FRIDAY
Friday was a quieter day show-wise but one of the most exciting, nonetheless. Nana and I headed to the office bright and early to record a podcast with mega stylist Law Roach. Choosing the outfit was tough but I settled on a chocolate brown silk two-piece by By Malene Birger, styled with my classic Pandora ring stack for a subtle touch of glamour, plus studded mules. Law was everything I’d hoped for – spilling all the tea about working with Zendaya and Ariana Grande on her Wicked: For Good press tour. Afterwards, I stayed at the office to catch up on emails ahead of a full-on weekend.
SATURDAY
Saturday started with a strong coffee and some filming with Lola and Nana. Knowing I’d be on my feet all day, I opted for sturdy boots and leaned into Pandora jewellery that balanced statement with subtlety – specifically my gold Rippled Wide Hoop Earrings with a pearl-detailed mini hoop in my second piercing. Both added polish without overpowering my look. With that, I was ready for my first show: Ahluwalia. Having interviewed Priya earlier in the week, it was a joy to see her vibrant prints, bold colours and denim come to life on the runway.
After a quick Farmer J lunch with Lola, I was off to Toga, where the extra-wide trousers with inventive waistbands really stood out. Then came a quick change at home before Roksanda at the Chancery Rosewood, where I met Nana. I wore a cream-and-black lace dress layered over white trousers with black heels – finished with some favourites from Pandora’s Talisman collection. I loved how the coin motifs added a cool, layered feel and made mixing metals feel effortless. My pick was the Silver Link Pendant Necklace customised with mixed-metal charms, which tied the look together perfectly. The show itself was full of drama and vibrancy, with high-volume fringe pieces being a particular highlight.
After a quick bite at the hotel, it was time for Richard Quinn – as glamorous as ever. The standout? A crystal-encrusted wedding gown with a voluminous white skirt. From our seat just behind Edward Enninful, we had the perfect vantage point to watch Naomi Campbell glide past and throw a subtle smile his way. The night wrapped up with the Miu Miu Miutine Party, where Charlotte, Lu and I people-watched, spotting the likes of Emma Corrin and Brie Larson over a couple of drinks before heading home.

SUNDAY
On Sunday morning, I joined Charlotte and Lu at The Corinthia. My outfit – navy striped trousers and a linen funnel-neck jacket – was brought together by a jewellery line-up I’d been loving all week: the Pandora Rippled Wide Hoops, my everyday ring stack, a Talisman necklace and my Pandora cuffs stacked together.
The day’s shows kicked off with Tove – one of my all-time favourite LFW designers – and this year was made even more special by Pandora’s collaboration on the accessories and jewellery. Seeing how Tove styled simple chains layered with multiple pendants and charms was inspiring – a fashion-forward take on Pandora’s timeless aesthetic. The standout looks included a long, fringed dress and coat combination that brought serious drama, as well as an electric-blue set that was impossibly chic.

Next came Emilia Wickstead, staged at the brand’s store, which put a slightly edgier twist on the brand’s signature feminine silhouettes. After a quick Pret lunch, it was on to Marques'Almeida, which showed in a skyscraper in Bishopsgate. The voluminous bow-detailed pieces – from a yellow skirt set to a pink statement dress – stole the show.
After a reset back at The Corinthia, we headed to the week’s grand finale: Erdem at the British Museum. The grandeur of both the location and the collection was unmatched. Year after year, Erdem’s DNA remains intact, with each season building on the last. It was the perfect close to a busy, brilliant, Pandora-filled London Fashion Week.
