It’s day one of London Fashion Week and we’re very excited at jones + jones HQ! Not only about getting inspiration for our A/W 2012 wardrobes but we’re also very honoured to be featuring in the Lethal Models for UNICEF catwalk show at the official ‘Red Carpet and Cocktails’ Opening Party for LFW hosted by Sex and London City and Fashion Forward PR tonight! We’ll be taking plenty of photos so keep watching this space for all the glitz and glamour of tonights show!

But enough about us as we’ve been checking out the catwalks from New York Fashion Week and LFW so far and have some suggestions for getting ahead of the fashion pack now and channeling A/W trends already!…

First up are collars, they’re huge this season and they’ve already been featured heavily on the catwalks for next season too…
