Storefront Guide: The Best Fashion Showrooms for LFW AW17

London Fashion Week is just around the corner. Here’s a look at our best Storefront fashion showrooms and pop-up stores for LFW AW17 next month.

London Fashion Week is globally renowned for showcasing some of the world’s best emerging talent, iconic fashion houses and hosting prolific shows. This year LFW is moving to a new venue, The Store Studios. The British Fashion Council are “creating a fashion hub in the heart of London”. With a new location comes a new territory for hosting a showroom.

After three seasons at the Brewer Street Carpark, the central show space is moving back to The Strand, a stone’s throw from its former home, Somerset House. The move to The Store Studios will amalgamate all of the BFC’s events. London Fashion Week: Men’s is currently held here, and the future London Fashion Weekend events, recently renamed as the London Fashion Festival, will also be hosted at the new venue.

As the most important date in the diaries of designers, bloggers, and buyers alike, London Fashion Week is prime opportunity for brands to gain exposure and grow with collection presentations and brand activation events.

We’ve put together a run down of our top fashion showroom spaces in the best areas of the city, which are ideal for private showrooms, ready-to-wear presentations and exclusive sales events.
