London Fashion Weekend 26 Feb - 1 March



Our February Newsletter wrote about the Vodafone London Fashion Weekend. This is one of the largest fashion showcases right on our doorstep in the magnificent, Somerset House. We are all really excited about this event and so thought we'd tell you a little bit more about the bi-annual weekend! 

Catwalk Shows
This February, Vodafone offers an exclusive opportunity to spend your weekend in the official British Fashion Council Show space. Catwalk shows showcasing SS15 trends and four key brands will be on the same runways as those used for London Fashion Week. Inspired by the likes of Alexander Wang and Lanvin, the trend shows feature collections that will suit everyone!

Monochrome- Oversized stripes, graphic prints and the effortless dual colour combination. 


Florals- Pops of colours, large petals and embellished everything.



Seventies- Lace, suede and crochet are making a comeback this season, note however the sophisticated twist. 



Shimmer & Shine- A gentle metallic look with a pastel palette, gentle shimmer and light-catching soft glitter. 


The event also offers designer shows where labels will be showcasing their SS15 collections with each show lasting approximately 30 minutes. 


Amanda Wakeley- The 'clean and glam' signature style has attracted Hollywood's finest to doll up in her glamorous evening and cocktail dress. 


Halston Heritage- Founded in the 1960s, Halston's signature use of cashmere, suede and jersey to reinvent the shirtdress and the jumpsuit took the industry by storm. 


Fyodor Golan- Best known for crafting their collections in highly technical fabrics with 3D embroideries, elaborate shapes and intricate detailing. 


Jean-Pierre Braganza- A Central St. Martins graduate, experienced worker with Roland Mouret and dubbed by Karl Lagerfeld as his 'protégé' for the AWO08/09 this collection is definitely worth seeing!

Industry Talks
The Events Lounge hosts fashion editors, stylists and leading trend experts who will be offering a unique insight into the fashion industry. Previous insider talks have been given by
