London Fashion Week September 2023 Recap: Petite Edition

Diving into a recap of London Fashion Week September 2023 with everything you need to know: from the designers, to the trends, and some of our favorite petite celebrity outfits this season.

For anyone who is unfamiliar with London Fashion Week, it’s a bi-annual series of events held in February and September each year to showcase upcoming fashion trends and esteemed designers’ creations from around the world. It is also part of Fashion Month, in which Fashion Weeks also take place in New York City, Milan, and Paris, the four major fashion capitals of the world. New York Fashion Week just ended the week of September 15, and London was next in the big four to host their Fashion Week, from September 15 - 19. 

Kicking off the European shows, London showcased several well known fashion brands, designers, and trends to look forward to. Some of the notable fashion brands and designers that participated this season included 16Arlington, Burberry, JW Anderson, Richard Quinn, Simone Rocha and more. The streets of London were also eventful, where locals and tourists alike showed off their unique styles.

Some trends highlighted at London Fashion Week included the incorporation of lace and sheers into various pieces. Designers made use of texture in accessories, from beaded headpieces, to handbags, sunglasses and more. One of the most interesting collaborations to me was designer Simone Rocha showcasing an unexpected collaboration with Crocs. These Crocs came with platform heels, completed with the designer’s pearls and crystal charms.

Last but not least, here are several of our favorite petite celebrity outfits at this year’s London Fashion Week:

Kylie Minogue: 5’0”

FKA Twigs: 5’3”

Nicola Coughlan: 5’1”

Charli XCX: 5’3”
