On September 20, 2026, creative director Se\u00e1n McGirr will be hosting a fashion show in London, his first at the helm of the British-born brand. The brand\u2019s namesake, the late, great Alexander McQueen, first found success at London Fashion Week<\/a> as a Central Saint Martins student after renowned magazine editor Isabella Blow bought his entire graduate collection, Jack the Ripper Stalks His Victims<\/em> (1992). He would go on to launch his eponymous line and become a mainstay on the London Fashion Week Calendar, staging iconic shows around the city, from Chelsea\u2019s Bluebird Garage for his Spring\/Summer \u201994 collection, Nihilism<\/em>, to King\u2019s Cross for his Spring\/Summer \u201995 collection, The Birds<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cLondon has always been at the heart of McQueen; there\u2019s a uniquely visceral energy to the city that runs throughout the house\u2019s history and continues to inspire everything we do today. Return to London Fashion Week allows us to deeply engage with that spirit and the creative community that defines both London and this house,\u201d says McGirr, on the decision to show in London, instead of Paris.<\/p>\n\n

It is a significant win for Laura Weir, CEO of the British Fashion Council, and London Fashion Week, which has been experiencing a new surge of vitality and interest from the public due to Weir\u2019s policies, including waiving participation fees and propping up its Newgen programme.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cOne of my earliest ambitions as CEO of the British Fashion Council has been to see Alexander McQueen return home to London Fashion Week. Few have shaped the global fashion landscape with the same force, imagination, and cultural impact, and now is the time to welcome the brand back to its London roots. McQueen\u2019s return is a statement of confidence in British creativity at its most fearless and distinctive. We are proud to welcome that house back to the official schedule and look forward to building an ambitious and meaningful partnership across the seasons ahead,\u201d says Weir.<\/p>\n\n
