Sit back and watch as London gets a whole lot more glamorous as London Fashion Week 2012 begins. Some of the world's most famous fashion press, buying teams and even bloggers are arriving in style this September for the Spring/Summer 2013 shows, so keep an eye out for the British Fashion Council coaches and customised cabs as they  block the streets outside popular show venues like Somerset House and The Royal Academy.

If you adore street style you'll be very keen to watch the hoards of fashion icons dressed up to the nines in their finery pottering in and out of the finest vehicles – you should also expect to see fashion week regulars such as Anna Wintour, Alexa Chung and even Emmanuelle Alt among them.

If you’re planning an unforgettable experience then plan your diary around big events including the return of Preen and Philip Treacy as well as the devoted like Matthew Willamson and Burberry Prorsum.

For those whose invites perhaps are lost in the post, don’t worry there is an abundance of fashion events for style civilians taking place throughout London, from a book signings at Harrods with The Sartorialist, to The Teatum Jones Fashion Tea at The Dorchester. 

You shall be spoilt for choice!
