LFW is as synonymous with directional design as it is with rousing parties and decadent events, and this season was no exception. Champagne flowed in abundance throughout the week's events (starting at 9.30 am at most shows). The parties started with Patrick Cox's luncheon at the Sanderson Hotel, where his new muse Elizabeth Hurley - star of his spring summer ad campaign - co-hosted a stylish lunch. Julian MacDonald's after-show party, where the now infamous anti-fur campaign featuring a scantily-clad Paris Hilton took place, was held in Cocoon.

Other events included the Lulu Guiness Couture bash at the Baglioni Hotel, where models such as Elizabeth Jagger danced the night away.

But Friday night was the evening of the AAA-list parties, including the Vogue pre-Bafta Bash, as hosted by UK and US editors Alexandra Shulman and Anna Wintour's in Cicconi's, and fashion packed parties held by Colette and Dover Street Market and the Acne Jeans party. The former chose the Atlantic Bar & Grill (now known as the Astor) - where revelers danced to electric beats in a pillared and disco-ball setting, and the latter was held at private member's bar 43 South Molton Street. Whereas at Colette the crowd had to pay for drinks (a fashionista is used to having an open bar - always) at 43 there was non-stop flowing Laurent Perrier and Reyka Vodka (and hence a never-ending queue of fashionistas trying to gain entry to 43B, the boutique basement club).

But no matter how many parties there were, or how much champagne was consumed, the truly dedicated fashion follower would have made it back to the Natural History Museum for a 9.30am start of the Central Saint Martins MA show on Saturday morning.
