Liza Keane is London Fashion Week’s dark and stormy saviour
Liza Keane presented her London Fashion Week debut SS27 collection, titled Rain On My Parade, at 180 The Strand. The show featured a sculptural installation by playbody consisting of concrete breezeblocks, metal scaffolding, and a water-soaked trough, through which models walked wearing waxed leather, shredded fabrics, cloaks, and distressed angel wings. The narrative drew from post-apocalyptic themes, with leather rendered as hardened skin and garments deconstructed to suggest survival aftermath. Keane, a Central Saint Martins graduate (2022), has developed a signature aesthetic of dark, decaying silhouettes expressing inner psychological states. The feature documented her final week of preparations, including pattern-cutting, fittings, and all-nighters leading to the show, capturing both the conceptual vision and backstage chaos of a debut collection rooted in gothic, deathrock-inflected design language.
