Fashion Discover London Returns to London Fashion Week with a Focus on Neurodiversity and Dyslexia Awareness

On 21 February 2026, Fashion Discover London will return for its third season during London Fashion Week.

The platform is co-organised by UA in UK Community and VOLKOVA PR & Talent Agency, with the support of Devonshire Square, continuing its mission to champion independent designers and socially driven creative initiatives.

Fashion as a Tool for Inclusion

This season places a special focus on neurodiversity, particularly raising awareness and support for people with dyslexia. Fashion Discover London highlights how fashion can move beyond aesthetics to become a vehicle for education, inclusion and social impact.

An International Line-Up of Designers

The show will mark the official debut of designer Marva Nazari, who will present her first collection on a major international stage. Her work reflects a multicultural background shaped by Afghan, Ukrainian and Pakistani influences, combining heritage craftsmanship with a contemporary design language.

Participating brands also include:

Thira Taf, an unconventional fashion label from Greece that redefines elegance through a bold, movement-driven aesthetic. Inspired by the sensation of “sweat from dancing”, the brand explores the dynamic interaction of latex materials, creating garments that respond fluidly to the body in motion.

Aql & Nafs, rooted in Afghan heritage and artisanal traditions. Historically, the iconic Afghan coat was crafted by nomadic makers from natural shearling and passed down through generations, existing at the intersection of culture and style. In the 1960s and 1970s, it became a countercultural symbol worn by figures such as The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and later David Bowie. Today, Aql & Nafs returns the garment to its origins, reinterpreted by Afghan women and presented with respect for tradition, identity and legacy.
