LFW: weekend roundup: Models wear Basso & Brooke
We queued for an hour to get into Basso & Brooke and were turned away at the door. As a result we're not feeling very well-disposed towards the design duo (or at least not their event organisers). However, we can't help but forgive them a little when we see these fab purple handbags Photograph: Alastair Grant/AP
LFW: weekend roundup: A model wears Jenny Packham
At Jenny Packham's show the models all looked shockingly skinny. The clothes that hung off their bony frames were interesting to begin with, but after the same full-length skirt with curtain pulls had gone down the catwalk fifty times, we got a little bored Photograph: Tim Whitby/Getty Images
LFW: weekend roundup: Models wear Peter Jensen
We thought this polar bear sweater by Peter Jensen was very, very cute! Photograph: Tim Ireland/PA
LFW: weekend roundup: A model wears Ann-Sophie Back
'Cos this is THRILLER! THRILL-ER NIGHT! Photograph: Tim Ireland/PA
LFW: weekend roundup: Alice Delal at Vivienne Westwood Re Label

LFW: weekend roundup: Models wear Christopher Kane
Christopher Kane went back to the drawing board with his monochrome dresses. Literally - he took inspiration from his early black and white sketches Photograph: Lewis Whyld/PA
LFW: weekend roundup: Model wears Eley Kishimoto
The Eley Kishimoto show was fun-filled and colourful. It included their trademark bold prints and these hilarious hats Photograph: Zak Hussein/PA
LFW: weekend roundup: Pixie Geldof models for PPQ
PPQ had got their celebrity mates in to model for them, as usual. Here's Pixie Photograph: Jorge Herrera/Getty Images
LFW: weekend roundup: Daisy Lowe models for PPQ
Daisy Lowe really needs to break off her relationship with the designers. They've made it a rule to dress her in something completely unflattering Photograph: Zak Hussein/PA

Further down the runway no one noticed that a model was actually being eaten alive by a black bear Photograph: Zak Hussein/PA
LFW: weekend roundup: A model wears Twenty8Twelve
Last but not least it was the turn of sisters Sienna and Savannah Miller with their label Twenty8Twelve Photograph: Stephen Hird/Reuters
LFW: weekend roundup: A model wears Twenty8Twelve
It was surprisingly hard to find pictures of the models for Twenty8Twelve. Most photographers were only interested in one thing - and it wasn't the clothes Photograph: Alastair Grant/AP
