Bigger, better, bolder is the message being touted about the first of this year's London fashion weeks.

As the British capital attempts to regain its status as the hottest destination for talented designers, both established names and rising stars have been showcasing their autumn and winter looks.

Highlights so far have included Paul Costelloe's perfectly tailored looks in neutral and brown tones and AGRO Studio's grungy but glam collection.

And at a time where minimalism has become one of fashion's biggest trends, Tolu Coker and Annie's shows will have delighted those who prefer their clothes to make more of a statement.

Tolu Coker, a former NewGen funding recipient, opened LFW on Thursday with a very important front row guest in the form of King Charles III.
