With most of the events during London Fashion Week invite only, should the festivities be more accessible?

Transcript

00:00London Fashion Week is heading back to the capital for the second time this year.

00:06The upcoming London Fashion Week will start on Thursday September 12th and wrap up the

00:11following Tuesday September 17th.

00:15Unfortunately most London Fashion Week shows are not ticketed and are strictly invite only,

00:21however there will be some fashion events happening across the week that will be ticketed

00:26on Eventbrite.

00:27But is London Fashion Week too exclusive and should the festivities be open to everyone?

00:58We should be, you know, looking for different things other than millionaires for examples

01:04of how we should dress.

01:05Struggling to have an opinion on London Fashion Week, it's not something that's really crossed

01:08my mind very much, I wasn't even aware it was happening.

01:12There should be more available, I'm not really sure what the events are, I guess footage

01:16will be made available, I don't know, but they are great if you can invite more people,

01:19but they're commercial events, I guess it's up to those people to do what's most valuable

01:22to them.

01:23It's not something I'd expect to be invited to, or I'm being forced to take part in, so

01:29it's up to them.

01:30I guess as long as you include everyone and fashion students and that who are involved

01:35are allowed in and maybe meet some heroes, but I'm not sure how they're seen, so I wouldn't

01:42expect to just wander into the Wembley dressing room and be introduced to the footballers

01:48just because I'm a fan.

01:49If you could get tickets for events, would you go to them?

01:52Yeah, definitely, yeah, I love a bit of culture, you know, any free gallery event I'm there.
