Who can apply for official LFW accreditation?

Accreditation is reserved for fashion industry professionals attending the event in a work capacity, including press, buyers, influencers, stylists, photographers, broadcasters and sales agents.

What evidence do press applicants need?

Press applicants must be commissioned by a publication established in the fashion community and provide proof of recently published work; the BFC does not accredit student publications.

Do designers need to apply for the LFW schedule each season?

All designers must apply each season, regardless of whether they have shown before, because schedule slots are limited.

Which formats are accepted for main schedule physical activations?

Main schedule physical activations include appointments, screenings, pop-ups and exhibitions; collections should be ready-to-wear or accessories, not bridalwear or childrenswear.

When do digital schedule activations take place?

Digital schedule activations take place on Thursday 17 September 2026 and require an element of moving content.
