Joseph announces return to London Fashion Week

The house of Joseph- one of the UK’s most loved labels- has announced its return to the catwalk at the next edition of London Fashion Week, after a seven-year hiatus from British runways.

The house will present its Autumn/ Winter 2026 collection during the next LFW season, scheduled from February 19 to 23.

Following Mario Arena’s appointment as creative director in October 2024, and his debut Spring/ Summer 2026 collection in October 2025, the February runway show will feature Arena’s second collection for the label, the house explained in a release on Wednesday.

Joseph last presented a collection on the London schedule in September 2017.
 
“My vision has always been to return Joseph to the runway. [Founder] Joseph Ettedgui was a visionary and a disruptor of his time- he pushed boundaries. I want to honour that and believe it is where, as a fashion house, we belong,” said Mario Arena.

The brand promised that its return to runway will be a “powerful next step in the brand’s strategic journey” and a pivotal moment for Joseph as it continues to expand its presence in the industry and globally.

“Returning to the London Fashion Week schedule is an important milestone in Joseph’s evolution and marks the beginning of a new chapter for the house,” added CEO, Barbara Campos. “It reflects our commitment to strengthening the brand’s global presence and positioning. I am looking forward to celebrating our new creative direction with everyone this February.”
