London Fashion Day Season 8: PAST. PRESENT. NEXT.
Twelve fashion voices at the historic Porchester Hall — and a campaign built around a student designer and an emerging model.
Fashion has always been a conversation between generations. Season 8 asks what we inherit, what we create today and what we choose to pass on. PAST is cultural memory, heritage and craftsmanship. PRESENT is the moment those traditions meet technology. NEXT is a new generation of names and ideas — and a question about what kind of fashion we want to leave behind.
The venue makes the point. Porchester Hall opened in 1929 and has been part of London’s cultural life for almost a century: a room where heritage is part of the conversation rather than a backdrop.
The campaign
Rather than turning to established names, the Season 8 campaign puts emerging talent at the centre: a look by Gabrielle Nitu, a student at the London College of Contemporary Arts, worn by a young Nigerian model at the start of her career on the London scene. Dinara Ostr directed the film around movement, form and transformation; Mariana Zabramna shot the stills; Andrii Karakushan and Kostiantyn Lieontiev produced.
The runway
Six runway slots from 13:00 to 18:00 on Sunday 8 November 2026, opening with students of LCCA and followed by Tiarael Fashion, STUDIO CATA, Heymers Education, Erzindjan’s, Tasha Ivy, NILDET, SHICHO, SULITUDE, Yanou Santangelo, NIKA and LEV3L UP.
Sterling Law is the season’s exclusive partner. LCCA joins as educational and institutional partner, Show Empire as technical partner, Session Squad and Sasha Mamedova for beauty and Beauty Bureau for image, with Odessa Fashion Day and Georgia Fashion Week as international partners and twenty official media partners.
We are not here to predict the future of fashion. We are here to make space for those who will create it.
Kostiantyn Lieontiev, founder of London Fashion Day
