Straight after New York Fashion Week (NYFW), the fashion rollercoaster stops off in the UK for London Fashion Week (LFW).
Organised by The British Fashion Council (BFC), and their partners, it's one of the biggest fashion events on the calendar.
How? 80 designers from 60 countries chose London as their venue in one of their bi-annual fashion weeks which are traditionally known for their avant-garde tone.
On the whole, fashion is a huge part of UK culture and plays a massive role in their economy too!
As well as playing a major part of UK culture, the fashion industry contributed £32.3bn in GDP to the UK economy in 2017 and supports 890,000 jobs!
This makes it one of, if not the, biggest creative industry in the UK.
What's remarkable is that LFW only started in 1983! Despite being in its infancy compared to the 'Big Four', the UK boasts an envious pool of talent.
Supermodels such as Cara Delevingne, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Jourdan Dunn and a host of others have graced the catwalk and brought to life the creations of some of the biggest designers in the world.

For a designer, Fashion Week is a fantastic opportunity to generate some buzz or even make history for your brand.
These designers took that opportunity and made it their own. From Prince to robots spraying models with paint, check out these moments.
In 2008, Matthew Williamson celebrated his first decade in fashion in style when Prince performed at his show. Not bad, eh?
In 1999, Shalom Harlow was mechanically sprayed by two machines whilst modelling a strapless white dress on a moving wooden platform.
The Queen surprised us all with a visit to LFW FW18. She presented an award to emerging talent, Richard Quinn.
What a day to remember!
Naomi Campbell held an A-list fashion show in aid of Haiti in 2010.
She was joined by Kate Moss and Annabelle Neilson. The show was called 'Fashion For Relief Haiti Fashion Show'.
Designers contributed pieces to the show and it was incredibly varied and vibrant.
Victoria Beckham and Vogue released a video ahead of LFW SS18 to provide details about her anniversary in fashion.
