London is fantastic if Milan is the seriously nerdy kid on the fashion week calendar. And the recently-closed Fall 2022 London Fashion Week, the first post-pandemic physical show in a British city, confirms that. Young designers reframe post-pandemic dress-up expectations during a five-day exhibition with an explosion of color, whimsical design, and bragging sexuality. From the strappy underwear-like gown by Albanian-born Nensi Dojaka to the faux leather mini-mine by Asian-American Chet Lo, design makers have shown that comfort can radiate sexuality too.

In addition to the charm displayed, the event showed that the designers talked about diversity. Oswald Boateng, for example, has performed on the "impact of black culture in Britain" for the past four decades. Furthermore, several designers and brands, such as Poster Girl and 16Arlington, have addressed the issue of weight by including some of the weaker models in their presentations.

Here are some highlights from London Fashion Week. Preen opts for an immersive experience where he combines dance moves with modeling. As a result, the collection incorporates many elements, from layered and bold patterns to oversized knitwear.
