4 need-to-know trends we spotted at London Fashion Week

Did you see us? Designers at Debenhams x ASHISH took to the catwalk to debut 5 signature pieces from the coveted collection – the perfect showcase of Ashish’s eccentric personality and the best of our brand’s British heritage.

Presented entirely through the medium of dance, the performance was the ultimate showstopper to leave us all spellbound: from the choreography & casting to the model’s hair, makeup, and of course, the couture.

The team were on Trendwatch throughout the entire show, keeping our eyes peeled for the moments we think will make it into the mainstream come 2026. Here are all the ones worth watching out for…

Oversized Furs

Fur has been considered a high fashion staple for quite some time, and now, it's carrying the legacy through into A/W 2025. Bigger and better than ever, designers and attendees took to London Fashion Week in larger-than-life fur ensembles, realised in both neutral and vibrant, eye-catching colourways that command all attention.

Streetwear Styling

Where fashion meets casual style, streetwear is resurfacing once again. This inherently relaxed laid-back look is rooted in a cool, edgy aesthetic that brings a touch of effortlessness to any outfit, day or night. Whether grungy neutral tones or bold shades of the rainbow, this trend looks good in every wardrobe.

Signature Sparkle

With party season en route, sparkle is making its comeback. Drawing the all glitz, all glamour inspo from the runway and redefining it in your wardrobe, Ashish’s collection in particular sparked nothing but joy, playing with shimmery textures and reflective materials to create the perfect party-ready edit that’s sure to turn heads.

Maximalist is the Moment

Go big or go boring is the 2025-2026 mantra we’re adhering to for the seasons to come. Rainbow hues, statement glitter, and interesting silhouettes are on the rise, shifting the conversation into something more light, bright and fun as we head into the cooler months of the year.
