London Fashion Week, 13-17 September is set to showcase some of the world's leading fashion talent.
This season the British Fashion Council (BFC) has spearheaded a city-wide campaign to engage consumers in the excitement surrounding London Fashion Week.
From events and shopping opportunities to digital initiatives and live streaming, there are more ways than ever before that members of the public can celebrate London Fashion Week and London as the global capital of creativity.
#FashionFriday
The BFC will use #FashionFriday as a brand new initiative to unite and promote digital fashion content every Friday, creating a dedicated opportunity each week for fashion followers to celebrate the latest fashion happenings. Launching today, a weekly #FashionFriday news bulletin will be broadcast to London's vast commuter audience on London Underground platform screens, as part of a partnership with CBS Outdoor. The news spots will appear every Friday, offering exclusive fashion content and breaking news. This city-wide activity will be the catalyst to encourage Londoners to be a part of the conversation by using the hashtag #FashionFriday.
The Shop
A pop-up shop celebrating British contemporary fashion at London Fashion Week will launch on Friday 13th September. The Shop will be open to the public, selling AW13 ready-to-wear, accessories and shoes by brands including Markus Lupfer, Bella Freud, Sophia Webster, Prism, DJ by Dominic Jones, Zoe Jordan, Lulu & Co. and House of Holland. In addition to selling the latest products, a series of pop-up events will take place including flash sales, musical performances, readings, interviews and guest appearances, all of which will be promoted on social media over the course of the week with the hashtag #TheShop. The Shop will be open over both London Fashion Week and Vodafone London Fashion Weekend, 13 - 22 September.
Social Media Wall
An on-site social media wall will bring together the largest crowd-sourced insight into London Fashion Week, featuring Fashion Week images from Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Positioned in the BFC Courtyard Show Space, the wall will create a visual insight into the whole London Fashion Week experience from catwalk looks, front row and backstage insights, celebrity sightings, events and street style. Everyone can get involved by sharing their Fashion Week experiences on social media simply by including the official #LFW hashtag in posts, which will then be displayed on the wall for the duration of the event.
Instabooth
In celebration of London's internationally-renowned "street style," the BFC has partnered with Instagram to share the best looks from the Somerset House Courtyard over London Fashion Week. The "InstaBooth" will be on-site all week long, giving visitors the chance to photograph themselves in their look of the day, print images as souvenirs, and share their favourites on Facebook. The InstaBooth is open to the general public, and the BFC will post highlights to the official London Fashion Week Instagram account and Facebook page using the hashtags #LFW and #InstaBooth.
