From sexy, sheer dresses to bewitching beading, London Fashion Week has served some seriously good looks on the catwalk, but we’d be remiss to not give the shoes their own moment.
This season, there’s been plenty to write home (or to you) about. The ‘wrong shoe’ trend still very much applied to the styling on the runway, as designers paired elegant eveningwear with daytime loafers at Erdem or furry Flit Flops at Roksanda. The “comfort shoes” continue to dominate, with Ancuta Sarca collaborating with Crocs and Clarks for some unexpected styles.
But of course, there are some pretty stilettos for the loyal heel wearers with 16 Arlington sending models down the runway with feathery sandals fluttering as they strutted.
Below, check out our five favourite shoes from the London Fashion Week spring/summer 2025 runway.
ROKSANDA x FITFLOP
FLORA MACLEAN
Set in front of panoramic views of Space House, the Roksanda show featured plenty of billowing gowns and tinsel-tinged dresses in every colour of the rainbow. But instead of dainty pumps, the collection was styled with beautiful yet functional shaggy shearling sandals from the brand’s latest collaboration with ergonomic footwear brand FlitFlop. “The fusion of form and function holds an enduring fascination for me,” the Roksanda says in her show notes. “With their deep understanding of footwear science, FitFlop has been the perfect partner with whom to explore the creative limits of this intersection, bringing to life a stunning collection that effortlessly harmonises with the ready-to-wear.”
