The street scene reflects the vibrant energy that gives LFW its edge over other fashion week locations. Personalised styles and customised looks are fun and creative, adding a unique flavour to accessories and details. This curated gallery combines women’s and men’s styles and connects design details within each category to give a clear and concise view of trends for BAGS, FOOTWEAR, HEADWEAR & JEWELLERY/EYEWEAR sectors.
BAGS & details
Reassuringly familiar bag shapes with practical features and roomy interiors are reinvented with the addition of fun and expressive charms, toys, chains, tags, and straps. Attention-grabbing styles in striking shapes use alternative materials, such as metal, glass and printed plastics to emphasise their uniqueness. More decorative styles are softened in knitted fabrics, velvety finishes, deep-pile fur or padded layers. Sizes vary with smaller proportions used for special-occasion bags, while medium-sized and larger tote bags remain the most prevalent styles. Short to mid-length straps dominate over longer shoulder straps, with some offering dual or adjustable options.
FOOTWEAR & hosiery
Experimental and contemporary styles combine starkly different materials or mix various footwear components to create unique hybrids. Flatform soles are transformed into gel-like blobs, cushioned trainer-type soles or form stacked layers with thick tread. Alternative styles are inspired by vintage; these include dress shoes, pumps and Mary Janes that are flat or feature a short block heel. Pointed toes are important across all types of heels and mid to long length boots. Decorative elements such as beads, studs, pearls, crystals and lacy patterns elevate clogs and pumps while men’s styles incorporate rough textures, furry trims or patterned finishes.
HEADWEAR & scarves
Silky scarves are an important accessory, worn bandana style, as classic knotted headscarves or tied in bows or headbands. Clip-on hair bows, brooches and ribbon ties are decorative additions, which are also used to enhance hats or headbands. Knitted bonnets, beanies and scarf styles shaped into long hoods feature bold graphics, pretty motifs or soft textured patterns. Neat sailor-style caps, flat caps, berets and baseball caps dominate the scene. Vintage-style felt hats pave the way for a more experimental approach to headwear with cloche style and unique shapes made from luxury deadstock materials.
JEWELLERY & eyewear
Long lariat-style necklaces or short chokers combine leather or waxed cotton cords with oxidised metal pendants and beads, adding a gothic finish to this boho look. Over-sleeve cuffs and bangles are an important look and part of the trend for oversize, shiny silver and gold statement pieces. Clusters of earrings, multiple rings and stacked necklaces combine mismatched pieces or coordinated looks for a strong impact. Pearls are worked into dainty earrings or mixed-length vintage-style strands, while crystals form delicately small pieces of jewellery or bold statement styles. Eyewear features classic aviator and d-frames or moves into oversized sunglasses and narrow oval shapes with sporty curves or wireframe finishes.
