London Fashion Week 2018: Highlights and Trend Forecast
Running from February 16th – February 20th 2018, London Fashion Week 2018 #LFW2018 has just concluded and as usual, it's got everybody buzzing with conversation and excitement.

The Queen turned heads as she arrived to watch the last show of the week – the Richard Quinn show. The final show ended on a high when the Monarch presented the young designer with the inaugural Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design.
