Much like designer Luella Bartley (whose heart-shaped frock, right, debuted on the runway yesterday), we heart London Fashion Week and so does our UK-based sister site, Ruby Room.
Check out their extensive feature on the 25th anniversary of this momentous style movement that has produced such wondrous talent as Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood and, um, Posh Spice!
Be sure to circle back to StyleList and Ruby Room for regular updates on front-row celebs, craziest ensembles and the top trends coming out of England's fashion capital.

The notion of a "perfect woman" being 5'10 at 110 pounds is as ridiculous as featuring a 5'4" 160 pound model in any type of mainstream fashion. The bottom line is that being too thin or obese is unhealthy and neither message should be sent as "fashionable" to young girls or women who are the intended audience of the fashion world. If an animal was being starved to test a fashion line, people would be outraged. The pressure (brainwashing) on these young models to achieve an unhealthy weight is CRIMINAL! That pressure, by example, trickles down to the masses. I also think that in an ideal world women should love their bodies, however, I don't want to hear cheers for a dangerously obese woman because she claims to love her body. She, like the stick figure, is abusing her body
Designers need to get real. Challenge yourselves to dress the healthy female form. Remember pre Twiggy fashion? Women had curves and the clothing WORKED for them!!! Women who fall within healthy AMA weight standards should be the ONLY featured models on any runway! If designers truly understood the natural, healthy female form, they would celebrate it with their creativity!

I thought this was one of the best LFW i been to, loved the fact it was moved from the stifled west London to the more urban and real London. Didnt really like the style of the cubicles upstairs on 180 Strand but truly think On|Off was the best both at shows and exhibition. Simon Ekrelius prints was a total hit and his amazing transparent pieces, so sexy and so rock'n roll but in chic way. also Bernard Chandrans collection was so right. They both are in my eyes true visionairies in the world of fashion. Overall On|Off was the best i think. all though the shows at Somerset house had better air condition it also came with a bit of hola - hola crowd that was there because of them-selves and to be seen rather then see the designers new collection. Those annoying wanna b's will always be like the leaches in the djungle when it comes to any of the big cities fashion weeks.- sadly. Love from Nicola
