Irish stylists, bloggers and designers have flocked to London to attend LFW, which starts today.

Dublin native and mum-to-be Simone Rocha, Paul Costello, Derryman JW Anderson and Zoe Jordan (inset) will all unveil their Spring Summer 2016 collections over the course of the next five days.

Orla Kiely, the queen of retro prints, and Danielle Romeril, known for her geometric designs, will also appear on the main schedule.

Jewellery designer Chupi Sweetman Pell will bring over her dainty necklaces as part of the 'Unfold: Irish Designers Collective' section, which takes place at the Institute of Contemporary Arts.
