1. CHECKED SKIRTS
Style Notes: The UK’s love affair with classic check prints is unwavering. Whether in the Scottish Highlands or a Burberry boutique, it’s nearly impossible to walk through the streets of Britain without spotting the timeless motif. This week, fashion insiders embraced the enduring trend through statement skirts. Chopova Lowena’s distinctive checked carabiner skirts made a bold impression across the city, while more refined iterations in traditional tartan patterns also caught my eye, reaffirming the lasting significance of this heritage print.

A jungle’s worth of animal print prowled from show to show, as leopard, snakeskin and cow print quietly ruled the city. Prey only to the relentless Fashion Week calendar, London’s adoption of the animal print trend proves that the city will forever remain in touch with its wild side.
