Posh wellies and Burberry take centre stage at London Fashion Week

London Fashion Week opened yesterday with up-and-coming designers set to rub shoulders over the next five days with established names such as Vivienne Westwood and Burberry — and Hunter Wellington boots.

Hot on the heels of the New York autumn-winter 2014 shows, 77 designers will show their latest creations around the British capital.

More than 5,000 buyers, journalists, and bloggers from 48 countries are expected to attend the shows, which generate over £100m (€120m) in orders, according to the British Fashion Council.
