Who to look out for at fur-free London Fashion Week

London Fashion Week showcases the best in British and international design. Here are some of the names to look out for during the event.

Burberry

Burberry is always a highlight on the London Fashion Week schedule but this season’s show is one of the most hotly-anticipated yet because it is the debut from new chief creative officer Riccardo Tisci.

The Italian former creative director of Givenchy was announced as Christopher Bailey’s replacement in March, and speculation is rife as to how he will revamp the British heritage brand.
