London Fashion Week is more than just high-end brands showing at Somerset House. It's a celebration of fashion in the capital and there are tons of really exciting events, shows and exhibitions for freelancers to get involved in. We've compiled a few gems to look out on and off the catwalk so you feel apart of the more prestigious fashion event in the world.
THINGS TO DO
International Fashion Showcase 2015 Launch Event
Taking place on the 19th of Feb at 18:30pm in Soho. Email: rsvp.showcase@britishcouncil.org
London Ethnic Fashion Party
A great fundraiser that supports young designers and emerging talent as well as a bloody fun night. Well worth a visit. 20th February, 7.00pm-2.00am at Press Nightclub, 47 Whitcomb St, WC2H 7DH.

THINGS TO SEE
Gareth Pugh returns to London Fashion Week after a short lay off. Expect lashings of PVC and a triumphant return to the catwalk.
For the hottest celebrity spotting, look out for Burberry's show where Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn will most likely walk and the frow (front row to the non-fashionista) will be bulging with A-Listers.
London lad, Henry Holland's House of Holland will also be worth a look.
Off schedule, we've been to see Ashley Isham's last few collections and his shows are getting more adventurous every season. We're filled with excitement for this year's theatrics.
Remember, if you can't get tickets (and few can), follow the action online or get down to Somerset House and soak up the atmosphere.
The Freelancer Club is also getting in on the act at this year's LFW as we are sponsoring The Catwalk Edit show on Friday 19th. Many Freelancer Club Members will be working at the show and it promises to be a cracker. To win tickets click here.
WHAT TO KNOW
Keep an eye out for the next modelling star. Kendall Jenner (previously working with Chanel, Givenchy) is tipped to go to top while Model of the Year Jean Campbell (Burberry and Louis Vuitton) will undoubtably make waves.
