It's a London thing: 6 points of note straight from the f'row at London Fashion Week

Everything you need to know, from unexpected collaborations to intergalactic runways 
The UGG and Preen SS17 shoe collaboration

1. One earring wonders

Side-heavy chandeliers are the way to go next season with almost every designer in the city opting for the look.

In A V Robertson’s latest collection for Fashion East this meant shoulder-dusting jewels were limited to one lug only.

Simone Rocha, Topshop Unique and Roksanda also exhibited a one-track mind.

2. Beckham cuts loose

Anyone who came within an inch of LFW will know that track pants are the fashion fondlers trouser of choice.

Accordingly, Victoria Beckham — a woman who likes to riff on the zeitgeist, is all over the look.

We’re already pining for these bad boys from next spring’s Victoria line.

3. Unlikely pairings

Of all fashion’s suprising power couples, Ugg and Preen (the two collaborated on shoes this season) are right up there.

And it got weirder still when Christopher Kane revealed a a partnership with Crocs, the nurse’s shoe of choice.

They do say opposites attract.

4. Motocross

The biker trouser is back thanks to Belstaff, which set out to redefine its roots this season.

For the clothes, this meant patchwork leather moto pants and foil parkas destined for the open road. We’re wild for it.

5. Circle of life

When it comes to creating catwalk shows to remember Anya Hindmarch sets the bar high. Literally.

This season a glowing intergalactic spaceship served as the backdrop to a showcase inspired by circles.

6. Va va Veronika

Reasons we love this German street style goddess include her love for Converse All Stars, her perfect French plaits and her ability to say please and thank you to the preying paps.

Let’s hear it for Heilbrunner.
