This season, Roksanda skipped the catwalk and instead held an intimate dinner populated by the creatives who make up her universe. Everyone from the writer Yomi Adegoke and make-up artist Isamaya Ffrench to former 10 cover stars Erin O’Connor, Kai-Isaiah Jamal and Beth Ditto all got together at Claridge’s Friday evening to celebrate the London Fashion Week favourite.
2025 marked 20 years since Roksanda founded her namesake label. She still leads with the same intellect and elegance as she did for her debut. Her AW26 collection featured all the designer’s signatures, including sculptural tailoring with cut-outs at the back, roomy overcoats and dresses that were draped beautifully around the body. Guests at the dinner wore some of the collection’s standout looks. O’Connor dazzled in a Cobalt blue frock with a ruffled skirt that jutted at the hips, while the writer Osman Ahmed donned a sugary pink dress cut from silk. If you’re after a party dress that shines, a Roksanda number is always going to be the answer.
