This season felt like a masterclass in contrast, balancing sophistication with a rebellious edge – think undone tailoring, statement texture and saturated hits of colour.

The use of more metallics gave the collection a modern sensibility, while subtle embellishments and tonal layering added interest without feeling fussy. The result was polished and wearable – classic Wickstead but with a contemporary twist. *Visit* [EMILIAWICKSTEAD.COM](https://emiliawickstead.com/) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/Ii29wVH03TKzfI8pYyCTFE3kV00=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-240226-lfw-highlights-emilia-wickstead-2.jpg) ](https://emiliawickstead.com/) Emilia Wickstead ## Bora Aksu This season, Bora Aksu’s signature romanticism had a more relaxed edge. Delicate lace, sheer layers and softly structured tailoring were offset by darker tones and vintage-inspired detailing, giving the collection a more introspective feel. Ruffled trims and fluid silhouettes added movement throughout – a modern take on femininity that felt both considered and wearable. *Visit* [BORAAKSU.COM](https://boraaksu.com/) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/wfUNA_gji1pk3iqSPzSYYlMAHDw=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-240226-lfw-highlights-bora-aksu.jpg) ](https://boraaksu.com/) Bora Aksu ## Harris Reed Unsurprisingly, drama took centre stage at Harris Reed, where high-impact silhouettes and high-shine finishes delivered a sense of theatrical glamour. The tailoring was softened with more fluid draping, while metallic accents and sweeping proportions added impact. Bold yet elegant, the overall mood felt cool and expressive. *Visit* [HARRISREED.COM](https://www.harrisreed.com/) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/JER8SAfejWREz9GH16i5I6ACYGM=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-240226-lfw-highlights-harris-reed-2.jpg) ](https://www.harrisreed.com/) Harris Reed [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/BOKk605hLvLHRaPGlJ5RVrTjN0Y=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-240226-lfw-highlights-harris-reed.jpg) ](https://www.harrisreed.com/) Harris Reed ## Erdem At the brand’s 20th anniversary show, fringed dresses and sweeping coats brought a sense of movement to the runway, adding fluidity to otherwise structured silhouettes. Textures were deliberately layered and prints unapologetically worn together, creating the kind of depth and tension that felt both romantic and subversive. Rooted in heritage yet defined by modern relevance, the overall aesthetic felt polished yet quietly undone. *Visit* [ERDEM.COM](https://erdem.com/) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/ELZ1wYkbMi2dHdNBZfqdsXXdGGw=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-240226-lfw-highlights-erdem.jpg) ](https://erdem.com/) Erdem Advertisement Scroll to continue [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/cMAIiE8lijRTupdb5OnkdNDZezc=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-240226-lfw-highlights-simone-rocha-1.jpg) ](https://simonerocha.com/) Simone Rocha ## Simone Rocha Romance took a darker turn at Simone Rocha, where delicate embellishments and oversized silhouettes were layered with her usual calling cards: pearls, lace and ruffles. A retro sporty thread ran throughout, adding a playful, modern twist. The result was signature Rocha – feminine and well-crafted, with each look feeling equal parts edgy and modern. *Visit* [SIMONEROCHA.COM](https://simonerocha.com/) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/yd8tX45cwH-_f5Lxq7nIK4CuLP0=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-240226-lfw-highlights-simone-rocha-2.jpg) ](https://simonerocha.com/) Simone Rocha ## Burberry At Old Billingsgate Market, Burberry’s AW26 show felt like a defining moment. Under Daniel Lee, heritage codes were sharpened and modernised – from cropped trenches to smooth lambskin and slick moto jackets – striking that perfect balance between polish and practicality. Closing London Fashion Week on a high, the collection didn’t just celebrate the house’s outerwear legacy – it confidently confirmed its comeback. *Visit* [BURBERRY.COM](https://uk.burberry.com/) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/Fufa06sutbuk5iyqgzx1EKyLpjI=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-240226-lfw-highlights-burberry-new.jpg) ](https://uk.burberry.com/) Burberry/Shutterstock ## Richard Quinn Once again, opulence ruled the runway at Richard Quinn, with bold prints, voluminous silhouettes and striking textures all featuring heavily. Floral motifs contrasted with graphic detailing, while pops of cerise pink added a 1980s feel. A striking blend of fantasy and meticulous craftsmanship. *Visit* [RICHARDQUINN.COM](https://www.richardquinn.com/) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/p5vozz3I6KpHe-SyCL4WHSxicc0=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-240226-lfw-highlights-richard-quinn-2.jpg) ](https://www.richardquinn.com/) Richard Quinn [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/Uzw1B9GaDJpo7Q0_tYTAB3CGFPg=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F02%2Fsl-240226-lfw-highlights-richard-quinn-1.jpg) ](https://www.richardquinn.com/) Richard Quinn ## Joseph Minimalism met modern edge at Joseph, with more relaxed silhouettes setting the tone for a quietly confident collection.
