London Fashion Week might be as tricky to get in to as a pair of size zero jeans, but this weekend its esteemed home, Somerset House, opened its door to allow all would be fashionistas the chance to experience its buzz.
The three day London Fashion Weekend offered the style-savvy the opportunity to snap up reduced designer wares from the likes of Ghost, Twenty8Twelve, Sass and Bide and French Sole and while the Chambord bar was the epitome of restrained civility, it was a case of 'Elbows at the ready' as the bargain hungry rifled the rails in search of fabulous finds.
If you weren't there just to shop, there were makeup artists on hand offering master classes. A super-cool catwalk show and trend presentation from presenter of the moment Zara Martin gave the fashion forward the scoop on key items to snap up as we make the full transition in to A/W10.
The Nomad look was a key trend take out - a glorious ethnic affair that allows us to "scrap the rule book and tap in to our bohemian side." Think a colourful kaleidoscope of items dug from the depths of the wardrobe and a 'mash up of texture and pattern' worn with carefree abandon.
Other highlights included a refresher showcase of Singapore-born designer Ashley Isham's gorgeous A/W10 collection. With his distinctive brand of glossy glamour, it's little wonder that he has dressed the likes of Lady Gaga, Kylie, Cheryl Cole and Florence Welch.
The show culminated with a sleek and sexy showcase of BodyAmr's wares. Amr's bold designs marry bright block colours with superfine feminine materials that drape the body gracefully and effortlessly, accentuating every curve.
The models sported flawless matte complexions throughout. There eyes subtly accentuated. A proud burst of vivid cerise gave plump lips the perfect colour hit.
