London fashion week kicks off on Friday, with thousands of guests expected to attend the five-day event. Where are the international visitors from and how is the UK’s fashion industry perceived?
Twice a year London becomes the world’s capital for many of the global fashion elite. From fashion editors to bloggers and buyers, London fashion week - held in September and February - draws in a huge amount of international interest.
Along with New York, Milan and Paris, fashion week in London makes up the ‘big four’. According to the British Fashion Council (BFC), more than 5,000 visitors attend the bi-annual event, made up of a mix of UK and international fashion buyers, TV and radio crews, photographers, journalists and bloggers.
