Put down your pencils and pick up your Prada people. London Fashion Week is here.
Today marks the start of the five-day fashion extravaganza when an army of international press, buyers and influencers descend on the capital to see some of the world's leading designers present their Spring/Summer 2020 collections.

Most events will be held at the BFC Show Space and BFC Presentation Space, held at 180 The Strand, London, WC2R 1EA.

Saturday: ALEXACHUNG, Marques'Almeida and Molly Goddardd
Sunday: Anya Hindmarch, Victoria Beckham, Emilia Wickstead, Simone Rocha and Ashish

Can I get tickets for the runway shows?
Unless you're an editor or a big fashion blogger (if you are apply for tickets here), then it's unlikely. London Fashion Week is typically an invite-only event for industry insiders. However you can get involved by tuning into the many shows that are being live streamed here.
You can also head down to the Strand to get some street style inspo from the attendees, and potentially get papped yourself.
However, while you might struggle to secure a seat FROW at Burberry, you can get yourself a ticket to either House of Holland or Self-Portait's show, or there are a whole load of super-stylish satellite events going on.
The London Fashion Week Festival for example is a four-day fashion extravaganza full of 150+ designer pop-up stores, catwalk shows, expert panel talks and plenty of shopping opportunities.
