As one of the leading fashion events held in London, every year London Fashion Week attracts large number of visitors. London Fashion Week is a unique event allowing both established and new designers a platform to display their latest collections, such as their fashion design, fashion accessories and jewellery, guaranteeing high octane glamour plus the odd diva tantrum along the way. And it's staying at its brand new home, the suitably sumptuous Somerset House.

London Fashion Week is an apparel trade show held in London, England twice each year, in February and September. It is one of the "Big Four" fashion weeks, along with New York Fashion Week, Milan Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week. The allure of London Fashion Week is not simply due to the designers and their latest offerings for fashion lovers around the world.

Highlights of London Fashion Week

* This February's London Fashion Week proved to be one of the best in recent history, and upheld its reputation for a being a hotbed of unbridled home-grown creativity and craftsmanship. With 21 officially scheduled runway shows and presentations, alongside countless spin-off and satellite showings, there were five names which stood head and shoulders above the rest.

* Started in 2004, Fashion Fringe at Covent Garden focusses on encouraging the spirit of extreme imagination, adven­ture and experimental design that London is historically known for. Designers will be asked to demonstrate an exciting, original approach but also the potential to make beautiful sellable clothes. Previous fashion forward winners include Christo­pher Kane, Erdem.

Review of London Fashion Week

* We had a great time in London, thanks to the parties, the food, and of course the clothes. Here are our picks for the top 10 collections, in no particular order. ------ Fashionista

* Unsurprisingly, models pose for impromptu shoots wherever you look and despite the cool temperatures, wrapping up warm is the last thing on most people's minds. ------ Stuart Cox
