Highlights from London Fashion Week so far...

London Fashion Week got off to a drizzly start this year, but it didn't seem to hamper the spirits of the thousands of fashion lovelies that lined up to preview the directional showcase of trends we'll all be wearing come A/W 07.

Highlights so far include Ben De Lisi's collection of elegant evening dresses which celebrated the female form featuring flowing necklines and cinched-in waists. House of Holland’s fantastic take on eighties neon oversized tshirts also got the cameras clicking with ‘modelcentric’ slogans such as ‘My flies are undone, Lily Donaldson’ and ‘Wham Bam Thank You Stam’ to name but a few.

But what would London Fashion Week be without the swathe of exclusive parties? Alexander McQueen proved that Shoreditch is still the place to be, hosting a fashionista bash to launch his diffusion range McQ, at Boombox on Hoxton Square and every stylist, muse and model worth their Manolo’s was in attendance.
