London Fashion Week: POET-LAB AW25

On Friday evening, I had the pleasure of attending the POET-LAB AW25 collection. This collection truly showcased that POET-LAB is a rising star who are well and truly cementing their place in London Fashion.

Breaking away from SS25, this was very much a monochrome collection who instead relied on a variety of varying silhouettes, fabrics and textures. Many designs in the collection experimented with the use of pinstripes draped in different fashion with the most interesting one having a large turtleneck collar that could have almost been mistake for a scarf. Another standout designs that beautifully demonstrates this collections use of textures was the closing piece of a dress completely made out of dress tags.

In terms of predicted London Fashion Week trends for AW25, this collection definitely blended elements of gothic elegance with modern grunge influences. Futuristic minimalism and a use of innovative materials was also another factor at play. Very excited to see what POET-LAB’s next collection will have in store.
