London Fashion Week comes to a close on Monday after showcasing the best of British design and beyond.

This autumn’s festival of style has seen the brand Dreaming Eli’s debut show held inside St Cyprian’s Church, as well as H&M making a return and Oxfam hosting their own catwalk.

Bake Off star Dame Prue Leith, singer-songwriter Matt Goss and Romeo Beckham were just a few of the stars to appear at the event.

The week was opened by a returning H&M at 180 Strand, with a show featuring star power such as Iris Law and Romeo Beckham, and over 700 guests including model Emily Ratajkowski.

Singer Lola Young performed two of her songs for the audience, including her chart-topping Gen-Z anthem Messy.
