Here's team ELLE's rundown of the highlights of the last few days.
The animal headresses at Topshop Unique : From stags to badgers, we all went wild for the Emma Cook designed headwear at Topshop's show. The bad news? They're not going into production but we wonder if, with a bit of fashion-forward peer pressure, we can persuade Sir Philip Green to change his mind.
Also at Topshop, the food: Thank you Topshop team for understanding that we don't get time to eat at Fashion Week and that snacks are always welcome. Visiting the cafe in your showspace was the highlight of every day.
Fashion for Relief: Because it kick started Fashion Week with such glitz and glamour, and raised loads of money for a brilliant cause. And who didn't love seeing the Walliams-Corden kiss? Round of applause for Naomi please.
Erdem : We. Love. Erdem. The setting was elegant, the dresses were to die for and the models negotiated the stairs without falling over. Fashion Week perfection.
Ghetto nails at House of Holland : The Sophy Robson monochrome creations were of the so-wrong-they're-right variety. We've booked a manicure and will be working them in days.
Burberry : While we love the cool, edgy, low-fi vibe that London's famous for, you just can't beat the excitement of a really big show and all the glitz and glamour it brings. Not to mention the A-list. Kate Hudson, Mary-Kate, Kristen Stewart , we still haven't recovered.
The Mulberry venue: The collection may have been brilliant but it was the venue that stole the show - The Orangery at Kensington Palace produced a collective gasp of wonder from the fashion crowd.
The Richard Nicoll bulldog clips: Set to be the most fought-over accessories of next season are the Erickson Beamon created bits of jewellery from Richard Nicoll. Yes they're bulldog clips, but they're jewelled and we want them now please.
Hakaan : A new addition to London Fashion Week but he still got Lara Stone and Natalia Vodianova on to the runway. And Kate Moss front row. We're thoroughly impressed.
The Jonathan Saunders party: Yes we were tiered but it was worth it. We got a cocktail waitress for the evening and we got to watch Jonathan and his crew strut their stuff in an impromptu catwalk show. A brilliant way to round off the week.
