Today, the BFC launched its #LondonIsOpen campaign, supported by London mayor Sadiq Khan. Khan reiterated optimism about the British fashion industry as it embarks on its spring/summer 2017 - and in see-now, buy-now cases autumn/winter 2016 - showcase.

"London Fashion Week begins today, showing that London is open to the world and is an international leader of creativity and entrepreneurship," said Khan. "There’s a fantastic range of designers and talent on the schedule this season, highlighting the very best the industry has to offer – from big brands to independent retailers, the London fashion scene has never been more diverse."

Later on that night there was a launch party for the official re-launch of the Vivienne Westwood Rocking Horse shoe. From the bold patterns and the monochrome outfits to the shorts or pants showing under the skirts, fashionistas would describe Westwood’s designs as avant-garde, or how one can simply say, “out of the box”. As you know-we like that and we love VW.
