After chatting about the Irish designers showing at London Fashion Week, we have to make some noise for the international names taking to the catwalk.

Christopher Bailey’s Burberry offering is always one of the major highlights while Mary Katrantzou continues to up her print game each and every season.

Here’s who to watch out for…

Jean Pierre Braganza – Friday 18th September

This London born designer has a very impressive style CV.

After graduating from Central St Martins, he went to work with Roland Mouret, where he perfected his tailoring and draping skills*
