And it's done. Apart from a couple of oddly scheduled after-parties, London Fashion Week is done and dusted for another season. London's fashion pack have once again deserted central London and headed home to Shoreditch, Anna Wintour is flying back stateside (apparently she came all the way here for one day and didn't actually attend any shows) and Somerset House can revert to its usual state of quiet splendour.
After the stress and the panic, the queues, the shows, the parties, and the after-parties, London returns to normal, and activity around the Twitter hashtag #LFW gradually ceases. So what can we draw from this season's London Fashion Week? Well many things, many things indeed. Here's a random list:
1. Grey is still massive – versatile, serious and chic, it's no surprise really.
2. After the furore in recent years, the models by and large all looked rather healthy and 'normal', which is nice to see.
3. But... Mark Fast's body-con dresses don't suit anyone apart from the super-slim
4. Queuing gets a little bit wearing after a while.
5. Justice are still the music of choice for runway shows.
6. Cheap blue wigs are WAY cool (as seen at Tim Soar).
7. Art Deco is back (thanks to Jasper Garvida).
8. The blogosphere could probably do with a light cull.
9. Rebekah Roy must be hardest working stylist in the world – six shows, SIX in five days.
10. There's more free sauce at fashion parties than art ones.
Lastly, a massive thank you to Courtney Blackman at Fashion Business Club who was so helpful in getting Spoonfed front row seats for all the best shows at Vauxhall Fashion Scout. And to vente-privee.com who kindly sponsored our London Fashion Week pages.
Most spotted celebrities: Peaches Geldof, Sophie Anderton, Carine Roitfeld, Alexa Chung, Jimmy Choo, Kate Moss and loads of those people off E4 who always slightly blur together...
