The Marie Claire London Fashion Week Diary

When Marie Claire hits London Fashion Week, they do it in style, Instagramming every last style detail from their slick Mercedes rides to the fashion fuel keeping them on their stilettoed toes. See the week in style snaps.

London Fashion Week is one of the most exciting weeks in the fashion calendar for the Marie Claire team - though the fashion editors love their jet set trips to Paris, Milan and New York, there's nothing that makes us more proud than the new season arriving in our humble capital.

Helped on their way by some very hot Mercedes-Benz rides, the Marie Claire team spent London Fashion Week running in their heels from one show to the next with a packed schedule of every exciting show from Burberry AW14 to the amazing Preen by Thornton Bregazzi. Lucky for us, they stopped along the way to Instagram their excitement at the show details, their fashion-forward show style, the over-the-top invites, and not forgetting the incredible autumn/winter 2014 collections.
