London Fashion Week S/S15

"London Fashion Week is so different from any of the others. Compared to the strictness in New York, London seems freer from commercial constraints. Truer to the process, to street style, to a sense of humour." - Alexa Chung

There's something about London Fashion Week that makes the city up its game and prove its fashion credentials.

London is undoubtedly one of the most fashionable places in the world - all year round - but for some reason in September it simply glows.

New York Fashion Week S/S15

"Every year the women of New York leave the past behind and look forward to the future… This is known as Fashion Week."

I doubt there's ever a more appropriate time to quote Carrie Bradshaw than during New York Fashion Week.

From September 4th to September 11th a selection of the world's greatest designers kicked off fashion month by showcasing their S/S 15 collections in the city that never sleeps.

It's not just the clothes that were breathtaking - the shows themselves were a spectacle to behold. From Marc Jacobs presenting his army to his audience sat on bubblegum pink shag pile carpeted benches and wearing Beats by Dr Dre headphones, to Tommy Hilfiger's homage to Glastonbury and DKNY's unmistakably New York inspired collection, the bar really was raised sky high. Veteran street-style photographer Bill Cunningham rendered many fashion editors star struck, and the celebrities were out in force on the FROW, from regulars Alexa Chung and Olivia Palermo, to relative newbies on the fashion radar like Uzo Uduba.
