London Fashion Week has officially ended. The glitzy parties, exclusive dinners, carefully curated street style and influencer social media dumps have all finished – well, maybe there’s still some mileage in the latter. As the sequins and feathers settle, there’s a triumphant feeling in the air. Perhaps it’s the return of Alexander McQueen and Mulberry or the numerous presentations from exciting and emerging talent. Either way, there’s plenty of SS27 inspiration fresh from the runways that can be replicated at home. These are SPHERE’s top trends to steal this season.

The Art of Looking Unpolished

Across fashion month as a whole – from New York to Copenhagen – there’s been a noticeable shift towards the “undone”. This goes beyond that je ne sais quoi quality and veers into a messier, more human domain. Why? AI, of course. It seems designers and consumers alike are sick to the back teeth of AI's hyper-perfection and are responding in kind with unbrushed hair and languid, loose lingerie silhouettes. Excellent news for those who can’t be bothered with the iron in the morning and prefer their lipstick lived in and slightly smudged.
More is More

Similarly, we also saw an emphatic rejection of minimalism, Carolyn Bessette-core and quiet luxury. More is absolutely more this season, seen with maximalist references aplenty. Take cues from Harris Reed’s sculptural fringed corset frames, Simone Rocha’s ruffled mesh boa and Edeline Lee’s dramatic lampshade skirts. If something feels a little extra – be it a floor-length fur coat or draped beaded belts, it’s worth adding to an outfit. Anything to spruce up the everyday.
All Kinds of Flowers

Florals in spring may not be groundbreaking, however, they were everywhere this Fashion Week. Patrick McDowel printed them on bags, Pauline Dujancourt crocheted them into tops, but unexpected accents were my absolute favourite. Onalaja had her models sport sprigs of gypsophila in their hair, while Simone Rocha wove delicate silver bud cuffs and earrings throughout the collection. For a bold take on the trend, wear multiple floral prints at once. Just like animal print, it’s basically a neutral at this point.
Lace Corsetry

The return of romanticism and whimsy is going absolutely nowhere. Yet the trend took a more gothic turn this season, seen with the prevalence of lace-up corsetry. From delicate peekaboo ribbon fastenings to fully boned bodices, it becomes one of the most pervasive details of the week. The impact feels equal parts rebellious and Victoriana, and it can add a touch of drama to even the most basic outfits.
Tartan Revival

While tartan may be a perennial fashion favourite, it tends to skew towards autumn/winter collections. Not on this occasion. All the cool influencers have been sporting flannels recently, and now Barbour’s display at the Tartan Reimagined exhibition is here. Sienna Miller looked particularly chic in a knee-length kilt and suede trench, and the funnel-neck bombers are just so cool – very British April showers.
