Soon, fashion week season will be upon us again, and those visiting London can start planning their show schedule now, as BFC has released the final line-up.

The week opens with a NewGen presentation by Sadie Williams in the BFC Presentation Space, followed by the first show of the week, J. JS Lee at the BFC Show Space. The LFW schedule has two newcomers this season - A.F. Vandevorst and Charlotte Olympia. Vandevorst's show will take place on Monday the 22nd, while Olympia - who recently announced a collaboration with Agent Provocateur - has a slot on the Friday.

As previously revealed, Alexander McQueen is returning to London Fashion Week this season for one show, a move that should delight fans of the directional label. McQueen usually shows in Paris, but for A/W 16 the brand will hold the last show on Sunday the 21st of February. The final show of the week is Xiao Li, of the BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund.

The event schedule for the week is also jam-packed, starting with an event on Thursday February 18th, "Celebrating a Unique Collaboration with Marks & Spencer." The UK high street brand has had an exclusive three year partnership with the British Fashion Council, ‘Best of British’, since February 2013 that is now coming to an end.

Other events to note include the On|Off Presents Showcase & Party, the River Island Fashion Film in collaboration with i-D, and Elle Style Awards 2016, which close the fashion week event schedule.

LFW A/W16 takes place on February 19-23.
