It has grown from 13 designers in its first season to 30 designers currently part of the environmental initiative.

Well known British designers such as Betty Jackson, Stella McCartney and Paul Smith will be showing their Spring/Summer 2011 collection on the catwalk and emerging menswear designers will be featured during the NEWGEN MEN show, sponsored by Topman, from catwalk shows to installations in and around Somerset House.

For individuals who are looking to stay close to the major shopping areas during Fashion Week, The Sanderson Hotel is just a few steps from Oxford Street. Just around the corner from Somerset House, The Kensington Hotel is an ideal place to stay if you want to be in the centre of the action.
