This season, London Fashion Week was filled with colors, romance, and edge. The runways delivered surprises, but beyond the spring collection were the Asian stars that whispered power at the front rows, especially at Burberry and H&M. From China to Thailand and beyond, these are the women who quietly commanded LFW.

Burberry


Out of all the shows in London Fashion Week, Asian presence was unmistakable at Burberry. From China, critically acclaimed actress Tang Wei and rising star Zhang Jingyi stood as brand ambassadors, and Chinese-English model and television host Alexa Chung delivered star power to the show. I-DLE Shuhua flew from New York to stun at the show, right beside Korean actress Jung Eunchae and fashion influencer Jihoon Kim. Meanwhile, one of Burberry’s newest ambassadors, Japanese actress Asami Mizukawa embodied punk chic.
Also at the Burberry show was Taiwanese fashion influencer Molly Chiang in her signature modern sophisticated outfit. Model-actress Elva Ni and stylist Faye Tsui from Hong Kong embraced the magic of the runway.
H&M

The H&M&180: The London Issue was a show that wasn’t to be missed. Among the 700 attendees were Molly Chiang, Thai actress Apasra “Yoko” Lertprasert, and Chinese star Xu Ruohan sat front row, alongside Indian-British actress Charithra Chandran, and Elva Ni. Last but not the least was Jihoon Kim, who made her runway debut in a full leather ensemble, displaying dark, feminine edge.
This season’s turnout of Asian stars was smaller compared to New York Fashion Week, but these celebrities and influencers proved that representation is more than presence—it’s about shaping the conversation. At London Fashion Week S/S26, their mark was defined not by numbers, but by impact and influence.
