London Fashion Week 2013

Today is the last day of the one of the most innovative and celebrated events on the fashion calendar. There were in total 56 catwalk shows and 20 presentations with over 5,000 visitors and international press from 43 countries, so I think we can say this year went pretty well.

The British Fashion council continued to unite fashion and digital innovation by connecting with social media, live streaming and pioneering new technologies. This year was the first time the BFC partnered with YouTube, which streamed 21 of the on-schedule catwalk shows.  In total 34of the 56 shows were live streamed from the Courtyard Show Space at Somerset House, The Tate Modern and shows from outside the main catwalk venue.

Last year London was voted as Global Fashion Capital for the second consecutive year by Global Language Monitor, and this week guests really did do their best to impress. A-list celebrities including Rosie Huntington-Whitely, Salma Hayek, Anna Wintour, Rita Ora and Jake Bugg attended the events sporting some great looks.
