Sep 26, 2011 | Contributor: Jason Campbell With more than 100 shows set everywhere from outdoor parks to East End cathedrals to the beautifully antique Somerset House, this London Fashion Week was a testament to the city’s strength and presence in fashion.

The diverse range of collections for spring/summer ’12 is well-suited for the youngest and oldest at heart.... Read More |
