The Swedish brand is preparing a big return to London Fashion Week this September with a coed runway show to present its in-season fall 2025 collections. But H&M promises more than a fashion show. It will deliver a “full-scale fashion experience that aims to go beyond a traditional runway presentation”.

The British high street brand is also making a triumphant return to London Fashion Week after a seven year absence, to celebrate the relaunch of the official website for Topshop and Topman. The fall 2025 men’s and women’s collections will be presented under the see now, buy now format and will be open to the public.
The exact show date and location are under wraps at the moment, but it is known the runway will be held at a landmark London location. A street party with live music and surprise guests after the show is also on the menu.

Save the date: December 2, 2025. This will be the first Métiers d’Art collection designed by Matthieu Blazy, and the first time Chanel stages a show in New York in seven years.
Richemont sales grew 6%

The Swiss conglomerate posted its sales results for its first fiscal quarter ending June 30, which grew 6% at constant exchange rates. The jewelry division, dominated by Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Buccellati, did particularly well, up 11%, while in the watch and fashion divisions, sales slumped 7% and 1% respectively.
According to Business of Fashion, “jewellery brands have outshined other luxury categories in recent quarters as customers see greater and more enduring intrinsic value in precious metals and stones than in handbags”. Despite a general luxury downturn, rising gold prices, and fluctuating exchange rates, customers seem to view jewelry as a smarter investment.
