Joseph announces his return to London Fashion Week

The house Joseph, one of the UK's most beloved brands, has announced its return to the catwalks at the next edition of London Fashion Week, after a seven-year hiatus from the British catwalks.

The house will present its Fall/Winter 2026 collection during the next LFW season, scheduled for February 19-23.

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

Joseph last presented a collection in the London program in September 2017.

“My vision has always been to return Joseph to the track. [Founder] Joseph Ettedgui was a visionary and a disruptor of his time: he pushed the limits. I want to honor that and believe that is where, as a fashion house, we belong,” said Mario Arena.

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

“Returning to the London Fashion Week calendar 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 look forward to celebrating our new creative direction with everyone this February.”
