Emma Sells Wears High Street To London Fashion Week

How to wear high street on the front row

By ELLE UK and NonePublished: 14 February 2013

The London Fashion Week front row. It's packed full of perfectly polished editors decked out in head-to-toe designer pieces, accessoried with bags and shoes that cost a small fortune. Isn't it? Well yes and no. Of course the front row is a showcase for the hottest high-end fashion, but even the most important editors tend to mix high end with high street these days. Not least because we Brits are lucky enough to have a high street offering that's second to none.

With that in mind I am going to be wearing solely pieces from Topshop, M&S, Oasis et al as I race around the shows over the coming days. The biggest challenge? Narrowing down my options to just five outfits...

Click below to buy what I'm wearing.
