London struggles to stay in style
Having commenced its seasonal circuit of the fashion capitals in New York last week, Fashion Week moves on to London on Thursday with its catwalk presentations for spring/summer 2003.
Once the most innovative and important of the four fashion capitals on the circuit, which also includes Paris and Milan, London’s appeal amongst the fashion hierarchy has been waning over the past couple of seasons as a number of its most important designers have pulled out in favour of showing on the continent.
