If Paris is all about glamour and luxury fashion at its finest, London Fashion Week has long been considered the hotbed of creativity. It is after all the city that brought us Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and J.W. Anderson. True to its reputation for experimentation, bucking the establishment and ushering in the new renegades the key trends included tailoring turned on its head, wild prints, outlandish embroidery and plenty of furry bits.

TREND 1: RIOTOUS PRINTS Arty motifs, glittering evening florals and every possible print in between livened up the landscape.
