Summer 2023 has been far from ideal for the High Street, with a washout July knocking sales and most recently a September heatwave arriving just as jackets and knitwear hit store floors. So retailers in the capital will relish the prospect of scores of well-heeled, and often high-spending, fans of designer goods being in town for London Fashion Week (LFW).
The clothing extravaganza starting on Friday boasts a line-up of 137 brands, and there are plenty of catwalks, presentations and parties to excite label lovers, influencers, retail buyers and fashion editors.
