The harmonious display of color featured in LFW Autumn/Winter 2025/2026 balances a confluence of creativity, innovation, heritage and change to spark a new vision. The overarching depth of color creates a strong mood with elegantly grounded earth tones, and vaporous whispers of tinted whites and lavender blues, coalescing with brighter reds and eco inspired blues and greens, heightening the power of the seasonal story. Reflecting consumers’ more thoughtful and conscious approach to consumption, the union of more familiar well-loved staple colors with an array of robust and vibrant tones introduces an energy that encourages experimentation and reinvention that allows consumers to discover their own unique personal style with authenticity and freedom.
