Inside 40 years of London Fashion Week — 'Madonna on the front row, Princess Diana popping in...'

London fashion week? We’ve had a few, 40 years worth in fact. The bi-annual riot has given rise to legendary industry moments, from  John Galliano fresh from his Central Saint Martins graduate collection Les Incroyables to Bodymap choreographed by Michael Clark and Vivienne Westwood’s Harris tweeds. Let’s not forget Alexander McQueen’s extraordinary spectacles (spray painting Shalom Harlow!) Hussein Chalayan’s wooden table skirts; Victoria Beckham in hot pants at Maria Grachvogel and Prince (!) jumping up onto Matthew Wiliamson’s catwalk; Alison Moyet singing Only You live at Burberry and late Queen propping up the front row at Richard Quinn.
