London fashion week

London  Fashion Week  marks the second fashion week of the international fashion calendar and takes place in September soon after the New York Fashion Week. The event takes place twice each year with a winter and summer version of the show, featuring winter collections in February and another in September to mark the spring and summer designs. Both fashion weeks showcase haute couture for men and women by highlighting the latest styles in clothing, footwear, accessories and installations like catwalks.
In addition to featuring fashion shows by several designers, London Fashion  Week also features schemes to support upcoming designers. NEWGEN is a prominent factor here and is a system that serves to launch new fashion designers, catwalk designers and fashion talent in the UK. Sponsored by Topshop, this event allows designers to garner worldwide media attention along with a sponsored catwalk space by the British Fashion Council, who will also work to mentor the new designers. The event also features NEWGEN Men, a show that exclusively promotes menswear and new designers in the UK, offering the top 10 designers at the show several business opportunities and an opportunity to get into the media spotlight.
