Edeline Lee Spring/Summer 2027 Show (London Fashion Week)

The Edeline Lee Spring/Summer 2027 show, held as part of London Fashion Week on September 20, 2026, took place in an unexpected venue: a school sports hall in Chalk Farm, North London. The designer transformed the gymnasium, complete with basketball hoops, football goals, and green cricket nets, into a unique fashion week setting. This presentation was notable for its ballet-inspired collection and an unusual format that made backstage activities, such as models being fitted, make-up being applied, and dancers rehearsing, visible to the audience. A drone also filmed the proceedings from the high ceiling.

Lee's collection drew inspiration from the rigorous discipline and physical demands of ballet, as well as the Greek myth of Sisyphus, reflecting a "relentlessness, a Sisyphean cycle." While known for structured, minimal designs, this season introduced shorter silhouettes and athletic shapes reminiscent of gymnastics, swimwear, and ballet. The collection featured signature tailoring alongside sculptural tutus, bodysuits, and skirts that maintained their form even with movement. Striking looks included a turquoise bodysuit with a wide, circular tutu-like structure and dancers in bright red costumes with exaggerated, rippling skirts.

Lady Victoria Starmer made a runway appearance, wearing a bright turquoise knitted midi dress. Her participation, alongside dancers performing synchronised routines, was among the show's most photographed moments, adding to the distinctive atmosphere where the usual backstage rituals became an integral part of the performance itself.
