London Fashion Week may have a more intimate energy than its Fashion Month counterparts, but that hasn’t stopped Asia’s style stars from making their way to the British capital. From the front rows to the streets outside the shows, Asians and the Asian diaspora brought their own interpretations of London style to S/S27, proving once again that their presence on the international fashion circuit is impossible to miss.

Filipinos
Filipino style was well represented in London, with celebrity photographer BJ Pascual and content creators Bella and Alliah Racelis making their way to H&M together—because, naturally, Filipinos stick together. Pascual later switched things up at Simone Rocha, proving that there was more than one stop on his London Fashion Week itinerary. Together, their appearances brought a distinctly Filipino presence to the week’s front rows and street-style scene.
Chinese
Chinese women also made their mark across the London shows. Actress Lan Xiya and The Summer I Turned Pretty star Lola Tung were both spotted in the front row at Alexander McQueen, bringing their own takes on the house’s signature edge. Meanwhile, Gemma Chan continued to command attention in the front row, arriving in a leather look that was every bit as polished as the occasion called for.
Koreans
Korean style continues to make its presence felt across the international fashion circuit, and London Fashion Week was no exception. Influencer Jihoon Kim made appearances at both H&M and Burberry, while maximalist creator Minjoo Kim brought her statement-making style to Simone Rocha.
Over at Burberry, actresses Kim Minha and Kim Nayoung were spotted together in the front row, both embodying the label’s timeless approach to British dressing with their respective looks.
Hong Kong and Taiwanese
Joining the region’s stylish collective were the Hong Kong and Taiwanese fashion crowd. Taiwanese fashion influencer Molly Chang returned to Fashion Week with an appearance at Burberry, where she was joined by I-DLE member Yeh Shuhua.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong-based fashion and beauty influencer Steph Hui made the trip from New York to London for Burberry, while Bridgerton actress Isabella Wei returned to LFW for Richard Quinn, bringing a touch of her own modern elegance to the show.
And just like that, London had its share of Asian fashion moments. From front-row regulars to rising names making their Fashion Week rounds, these style stars brought their own wardrobes, perspectives, and cultural influences to the British capital. With Paris next on the Fashion Month calendar, we’ll be keeping an eye on who else from the Asian style set turns up—and, more importantly, what they wear when they do.
