The month of fashion is here and this year’s fashion weeks will be unlike any other. And just when we were getting over Gucci’s 12-hour-long live stream of its Epilogue collection and LV’s stunning Cruise 2020 collection, it’s time to prep ourselves for six exciting days of fashion. Yes, we’re talking about London Fashion Week 2020.
