Michael Lee/Unsplash February in London is a test of endurance. The sky is a flat sheet of grey, and the rain refuses to stop. Most sensible people stay inside. But for five days, the city ignores the gloom to host a spectacle. London Fashion Week is back. It brings a chaotic energy to the wet pavements of Soho. While Paris poses and Milan polishes, London scrapes by on adrenaline and attitude. It is the rebellious sibling of the fashion capitals. The crowds outside the venues are a mix of soaking wet velvet and defiant sunglasses.
