The London Fashion Week exhibition at Somerset House is not open to the general public but we went along to find out what goes on behind industry doors.

Unsurprisingly, models pose for impromptu shoots wherever you look and despite the cool temperatures, wrapping up warm is the last thing on most people's minds. There are over 170 exhibitors pitched up spanning ready to wear and all manner of accessories plus a multitude of catwalk shows to get to - or loiter outside (if your name's not down, you're almost certainly not getting in).

However, the people, punters and posers hanging in and around Somerset House are far and away the most interesting things on display. And as these photos show, it's attention to detail that really marks out the professional fashionista.
