The event is organised by the British Fashion Council and hosted twice a year. This gives top, international fashion designers to showcase their latest collections to global press, industry buyers, influencers and of course – fashion lovers.

The beauty of London Fashion Week is its ability to capture the capital’s “anything goes” approach to style. London Fashion Week is known for its impressive line-ups and February 2020 is no different.
From global, premium brand names to up-and-coming chic designers; household names and even the appearance of high street brands, London Fashion Week certainly offers diversity.
Public-facing shows are back
As the first international fashion week to open its doors to the wider public, London Fashion Week is once again opening its door to the wider public. Following the success from London Fashion Week September 2019, this year sees public catwalk shows from Temperley London and De La Vali.
Ticket holders will have access to the official hub of London Fashion Week, The Store X, 180 Strand, the Positive Fashion Designer Exhibition, industry-led talks and panel discussions, as well as much, much more!
