With work schedules and travel arrangements, it’s hard for most people to enjoy the full week. Most visitors to London fashion week have just a few days to fit in as much as they can. So, we thought we’d lend a hand by providing a helpful two-day itinerary for London fashion week.
Remember, if you only have two days, you want to be sure you get to see everything you want. Check the show schedules well in advance and book tickets to your favourite shows. That way, you’ll ensure you don’t miss out on anything you most want to see. Many of the popular shows sell out quite quickly, so be ready to get your tickets as soon as they become available.
