2011 Autumn London Fashion Week

Alexa Chung attended many shows at London Fashion Week and has taken to defending a fellow front row star; Anna Wintour. Alexa has been talking about the US Vogue editor-in-chief commenting, "I feel like her reputation comes from the fact she's a woman and she's incredibly successful so people like to speculate about whether she's cut-throat and mean, when she's actually not. She's a really smart businesswoman just getting her job done."

I am always excited to see what Alexa wears and this season was no exception. However, she thinks that she doesn't deserve her British Fashion Award for Style Icon. She said, "It might be premature. I always think of icons as women from previous decades who demonstrated a finesse in the fashion industry for many years and accumulated the praise gradually, whereas that seems to be a label that was stuck on me overnight. It's incredibly flattering but also quite daunting." Click through to see Alexa's fashion week looks and tell me if you agree with her comments.

London Fashion Week shows are mainly held at Somerset House – which is a beautiful location – but some designers opt to present in different carefully chosen venues. This season, designers picked some of the capital's most amazing buildings as the backdrop for their latest collections. Click through to see some of my favourites.

Triumph was the only lingerie brand to present at London Fashion Week. The show presented new styles in a fun environment with a celebrity front row which included Lisa Snowdon and Tamara Ecclestone. The colour palette was mainly black, grey and pink with a lot of the styles having a high waist pin-up feel. The collection mainly used lace and silk. The lingerie was teamed with statement jewellery and black heels. Click through to see looks from the show.

Focus remained on shape with an array of beautiful dresses. Red continued to be a key shade alongside monochrome tones and blue hues. Click through to see my top looks from day 5.

London Fashion Week is the perfect time to up the style ante to show off your creative side. Celebrities know this and have been sitting pretty in the front row all across town.

London Fashion Week came to a close for me with the Ashish show at Somerset House. It was a typically fun collection that was colourful and included plenty of sequins! This season, Ashish interpreted heritage in his own way playing with tartan and union jack prints. He gave the collection a punk edge with moth eaten knits, asymmetric zips and safety pin detailing. There was also a bones print piece and blazers adorned with political slogans. Ashish designed this line with a "poor little rich girl" in mind hence the contrast in some cases with boxy jackets and collared shirts teamed with slouchy tartan.

• Trends: heritage, sequins, punk.
• Colours: Blue, white, red, yellow, moss green, brown.
• Accessories: Brothel creepers.
• Key look: Cropped bones top with low slung tartan trousers.
• Who would wear this: Rebels without a cause.

Christopher Kane is always innovative with his designs and this season he created pieces using unusual plastic pockets filled with coloured liquid (vegetable oil and glycerine). The result was a sci-fi collection with zig-zag neckline and innovative dresses. Kane was inspired by soda streams and lava lamps for the pieces. One of the dresses from the collection has already been worn by Natalie Massenet who called Kane "a genius".

• Trends: sci-fi, sheer, luxe eveningwear.
• Colours: Black, blue, red.
• Accessories: Mary jane heels and squidgy plastic clutch.
• Key look: Liquid filled cocktail dress.
• Who would wear this: Fashion forward party girls
