L’oscar London Becomes a Dreamscape: Ginny Litscher’s “TRIBE” and a Night of Decadence

London Fashion Week always promises spectacle, but on Friday, 19 September 2025, decadence truly found its home at the baroque jewel that is L’oscar London. Designer Ginny Litscher staged her much-anticipated debut with her Spring/Summer 2026 collection “TRIBE”, and what unfolded was not merely a show but an immersion into another world.

I came to support my gorgeous friend Kiera Chaplin, who was nothing short of radiant as she glided down the runway. Years ago, London Fashion Week was where our paths first crossed, and seeing her again — this time sharing the runway with her stunning younger sister India Chaplin — felt like a full-circle moment. India, tall, tanned, and with mesmerising eyes that commanded the room, was a revelation, exuding both grace and strength.

The collection itself was like stepping into a dream. Fabrics flowed with hypnotic movement, patterns surged like a psychedelic trip — one moment reminiscent of sun-drenched mosaics, the next conjuring visions of a yacht skimming across the Côte d’Azur. I could almost feel the wind of St Tropez brushing against my face as each look swept past.

The evening began powerfully, with supermodel Jodie Kidd opening the runway, followed by an illustrious cast including Laura Whitmore, Sadie Frost, Jasmin Brunner, Kiera Chaplin, and India Chaplin. The finale belonged to Rose McGowan, closing the show in striking fashion that sealed the collection’s message of strength, individuality, and unity.

Ginny’s genius lies in transforming her vast, hand-painted artworks into rich textiles and silhouettes. “TRIBE” was alive with colour and texture: fringed details, supple leather, and layered compositions that spoke of journeys, landscapes, and belonging. The experience was heightened by Rusty Egan’s electrifying soundtrack and the enveloping fragrance curated by master perfumer Azzi Glasser, ensuring every sense was touched.

Beyond the runway, the celebration continued. Ellen von Unwerth and Alex Lambrechts captured behind-the-scenes intimacy, while the afterparty pulsed with the energy of Laure Petrie of the Moulin Rouge, accompanied by DJ Lady Kamikazi’s vintage 45s. The whisky — dangerously abundant — was courtesy of Generation by Chaplin Whisky, the creation of Kiera and her brother Spencer Chaplin. I confess I drank more than I should, yet every sip seemed to fuel the night’s unstoppable rhythm.

The show’s styling came from Anders Sølvsten Thomsen, with hair by Chris Kurz and make-up by Julia Laza, while lingerie by Livy Paris infused sensuality into the looks. It was a presentation that extended far beyond fashion — it was performance, atmosphere, and art in motion.

Media attention has already been effusive, with coverage in Vogue, the Daily Mail, and across television, hailing Ginny Litscher as one of the breakout names of this year’s London Fashion Week. Reflecting on the evening, Ginny described her work as “a celebration of individuality, but also of shared identity — an expression of art in motion.”

The venue itself played its part in the story. Once a Baptist church, L’oscar London has been reimagined in lavish Baroque splendour by Jacques Garcia, its gilded interiors a stage worthy of a debut that will be remembered for years to come. Guests toasted with Jeeper Champagne, dined exquisitely, and were transported through Ginny’s artistic vision into a kaleidoscopic world of belonging and beauty.

For me, it was a night of intoxicating glamour, friendship, and artistry — one that reminded me why London Fashion Week continues to be the heartbeat of creativity. Watching Kiera and India Chaplin illuminate the runway against Ginny Litscher’s dazzling debut was an experience that felt at once personal and universal: a “tribe” indeed.
