Wondering if you can turn your fashion dreams into reality by attending London Fashion Week? It’s a dream for many to be able to attend London Fashion Week, but it might not be as difficult as you might first think. Here, I’ll share everything you need to know about gaining access to the British celebration of style.
Typically held twice a year, LFW showcases the works of over 100 of the world’s most renowned designers to industry professionals. It will next take place in February 2024, when huge names like Burberry, Simone Rocha and JW Anderson will preview their collections for AW24 in the UK capital. It’s regarded as one of the ‘big four’ Fashion Week events worldwide, along with those in Paris, Milan, and New York.
The prestigious events have always been exclusive, with attendees being invited by each designer’s press team, but this changed during the pandemic as the event became digital first. In 2024, Fashion Week has become a mix of physical and digital shows, so it’s still possible to get a piece of the action, wherever you are in the world.
If you’re based in the UK and want to know how to attend, keep reading for everything you need to know. Next, read our comprehensive guide on everything you need to know about LFW.

Can the public go to London Fashion Week?
LFW is invite only. To attend one of the most prestigious shows, you’ll need to be invited by a specific designer’s press team. You can also apply for accreditation, but if you don’t manage to secure an invite, you can watch the event online from the comfort of your own home.
How to get tickets to London Fashion Week
You can’t buy tickets to the shows, but there are still a couple of ways to get in.The first is to get an invitation directly from the team of the designer whose show you want to catch. The other is to get accredited by the British Fashion Council if you work in fashion as a buyer, photographer, journalist, influencer, blogger or many other roles in the industry. Those who want to apply for accreditation can do so through theLondon Fashion Week website.
When is London Fashion Week?
The next LFW is scheduled to take place from February 15 – February 20, 2024, when designers will showcase their Fall/Winter 2024 collections. Following this, the next LFW will happen in September, when the Spring/Summer 2025 collections will be previewed.
Do you have to pay for London Fashion Week?
Most catwalk shows at London Fashion Week are invite-only, reserved for industry professionals like designers, buyers, and the press who get personalized invitations. These aren’t available for the general public to buy. But if you want to be part of LFW, you can buy tickets for certain events like presentations and talks on the official LFW website or partner platforms. Prices vary depending on the event and seating.
Here’s a tip: Smaller independent designers and brands often showcase their work outside the official schedule, sometimes with separate ticketing. These events might be open to the public, providing another way to experience LFW without needing an industry invite. Stay ahead of the game with the latest news on London Fashion Week! Even though the specific schedule hasn’t been released yet, you can stay informed by signing up for the LFW newsletter.
