London Fashion Week isn't always about non-stop glamour. Yesterday, at the Gharani Strok SS07 presentation, a model teetering on the most uncomfortable shoes unexpectedly tripped on the catwalk - in Naomi Campbell-style - but this time landed in the lap of a startled front row buyer.

The other unglamorous event is the size 0 debate which continues to be an issue. Yesterday supermodel Erin O'Connor waded into the controversy, and said, "all opinions are welcome" as to whether underweight models should be banned from the catwalk. To be clear, the issue is not about models being thin, rather it is about girls who dare not put on a single pound in case it is the end of their careers.

Thankfully the spirit of London Fashion Week wasn't tainted and last night saw an animated fashion crowd party en masse. Revellers began at the B-store party on Savile Row, quickly moving onto the neighbouring opening of the new PPQ store on Conduit Street. 43 South Molton hosted two glamorous events, the first being a fashion talk by author Ian Kelly on Beau Brummell: sex, scandal and celebrity: the birth of British fashion. After which the Premiere Models party, which attracted a very glamorous crowd who partied until the early hours this morning.
