Florence Pugh opens Harris Reed show at London Fashion Week

London Fashion Week has kicked off, showcasing the best of British design.

Fashion lovers have gathered in the capital for five days of runway shows and events, offering a glimpse at the autumn/winter 2025 trends.

Florence Pugh opened Harris Reed’s show with a theatrical display, turning heads in a sculptural speared, hooded black gown.

Her dramatic make-up featured striking eyes with extended lashes adding to her bold, dramatic look.

Since graduation from Central Saint Martins, Reed’s clothes have become synonymous with gender-fluid fashion.

His collections often feature exaggerated hips, nipped-in waists through corsetry, oversized structured lapels, and sculptural collars.

The Central Saint Martins MA presentation showcased the impressive work from one of the world’s most renowned fashion courses.

Its alumni include some of the most celebrated names in fashion, such as Alexander McQueen, Christopher Kane, Kim Jones, Simone Rocha, Richard Quinn, and Roksanda.

These designers have gone on to shape the global fashion landscape with their innovative work and distinctive styles.

On Friday morning, Paul Costelloe, a key figure in both British and Irish fashion, kicked off proceedings with his latest collection at the Palm Court at The Waldorf in central London.

As is customary, the front rows were filled with fashionistas and celebrities, adding extra glamour to the event.

Among those in attendance were, social media influencers, Phoebe and Daisy Tomlinson, who caught the spotlight at Costelloe’s show.
