London Fashion Week (LFW) is one of the highest profile fashion events in the world and one of the ‘big four’ international catwalk capitals. The event is organised by the British Fashion Council (BFC). LFW puts London and British Fashion firmly on the global stage, generating orders estimated at being in the region of £100m; the event itself contributes £20 million to the London economy in terms of direct spend and attracts visitors from over 25 countries including US, France, Italy, Russia, Middle East, China and UAE.
There are over 60 catwalk shows on the official catwalk schedule plus 30 more on the digital and presentation schedules and a dedicated menswear day. The exhibition that runs alongside the catwalk shows showcases over 200 ready to wear and accessories designers each season. In addition to the official and off schedule events LFW has become a focus for a broader base of fashion linked activities with international designers, media and other high profile brands choosing to host their own events during the weeks.
