London Designers Face ‘Most Challenging’ Season Yet

London Fashion Week stands to be a diminished affair this season. Just as in New York, Milan and Paris, digital events are replacing the usual whirl of grand catwalk shows and in-person soirées. Though familiar names like Simone Rocha, Victoria Beckham and Molly Goddard pepper the schedule, Burberry, the city’s biggest-name draw, has yet to announce any plans for a womenswear show. Instead, the brand will present a menswear collection as part of a slate of co-ed digital-only showcases.
