London Fashion Week is not going anywhere

As well as trying to second guess who Peter Jensen's muse for this season would be (Jodie Foster in case you didn't know) and trying to spot if Aggy is wearing an engagement ring (not so far this week!), the other important question on everybody's lips this week has been, is London Fashion Week shrinking?

But last night the British Fashion Council and The CFDA (New York fashion week's equivalent governing body) reached an agreement that London will not be squeezed down from six to four days as the CFDA had requested.

New York fashion week has wanted to move into London's second week in September spot for some time. Why? Because due to August holidays in Milan's garment district, where many designers produce their collections, and due to the Labour Day Bank Holiday in America at the end of August, New York's designers have found it hard to be ready in time for NY's first week of September Fashion Week position.

But for now, thanks to negotiations between Harold Tillman, Hilary Riva (pictured here with Erin O'Connor) and Diane Von Furstenberg (the head of the CFDA) New York has agreed to stay where it is, and London Fashion week is safe. Bravo!
