Pantone, the world’s leading trend forecast and color institution, has presented the color palette for the autumn/winter season 2025 of the London Fashion Week (LFW), which runs until February 24th. It is supposed to represent “an interplay of creativity, innovation, tradition and change” and “inspire a new vision”.

Last season, for the spring/summer collection 2025 of the LFW, Pantone presented a color palette that was “playful and nostalgic”. For autumn/winter 2025, the color forecast contains a harmonious selection of colors that embody “a vision of change and renewal”.

“The colors for the LFW Herbst/Winter 2025/2026 enable a dynamic expansion of identity,” said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. “This mixture of traditional colors and vital seasonal nuances balances the desire for change with the desire of consumers: inside for sustainability. It also underlines how the role of color is in constant change and develops as a significant expression of who we are while we are constantly redefining ourselves and our wishes. ”
