London Fashion Week is an initiative Organised by The British Fashion Council, (BFC). The aim; to strengthen opportunities for British designers and showcase their work globally. With our increasing media and technological resources, since the very first LFW back in 1984, the show and its exhibition has gone from strength to strength. With accessibility to LFW being at its very best, the BFC have made sure that no-one will miss out.
With an array of activities on offer over LFW, the misconception is that it is all parties and catwalks. For most part, it is, but that is not the only thing which makes London Fashion Week special. With the introduction of live streaming in 2010, anyone can watch the shows as they are being aired, as well as watching the digital installations and film screenings too.
