London Fashion Week for the Public

The organisers have prepared city-wide activities for shoppers to have direct access to designers and fashion influencers. For one, the London Fashion Festival will allow the public to have a designer catwalk experience on 23rd to 26th February. Every year, four designers are chosen to present their impressive scollections. Show tickets start at £20 and prices get higher depending on how close you want to be to the catwalk. Burberry will also hold its “Buy it now” show on 20th February. This will be a well attended event and the who’s who in fashion will definitely be at the front rows.
