A hotly anticipated party thrown by high-street retailer H&M with pop star of the summer Charli XCX shook things up with an unusual opening night of London Fashion Week on Thursday.

The LFW Spring/Summer 2025 schedule, which runs until Tuesday, had been set for weeks when H&M burst onto the scene announcing a collaboration with the British singer, overshadowing big-name designers and being labelled the hottest fashion week ticket. After a night of sustainable runways and high-energy music performances, the coming week will see over 70 designers present collections.
