For forty years, London Fashion Week (LFW) has dared where others have not, always looking forward.

This anniversary edition of LFW will host 67 designers across 46 catwalks and 36 events, with collections by many more up-and-coming designers expected to make an appearance off-grid.

Star attractions include Preen, Richard Quinn, Simone Rocha, Harris Reed, 16Arlington and Emilia Wickstead.

Burberry is slated to close the official programme on Monday, with Daniel Lee's collection.

Vogue editor Dame Anna Wintour will, no doubt, selectively grace the front row, casting her discerning eye over the latest trends from behind those iconic shades.

Although smaller than its peers in Milan, Paris and New York - which routinely boast international fashion giants - London continues to be known for its unique style.

"It's much more innovative," Betty Jackson, a designer at the first LFW, told the BBC. "I do think we have the best ideas, really. And we're fearless.”
