Enjoy the alternative Fashion Week in trendy London! <\/div>\n<\/div>By the time February is over, most of us have had our fill of Fashion Week and flawless models. In London<\/a>, New York, Paris and Milan, there\u2019s no escape\u2014but there is an alternative! London\u2019s Alternative Fashion Week takes place for five days at the end of April<\/strong> (this year, from the 20th to the 24th), giving us a respite from the more mainstream shows and a re-energized set of aesthetics to consider. Of course, if you really want to slip into something comfortable, we recommend a New York Habitat vacation rental in fashionable Shoreditch, a\u00a0borough\u00a0of Hackney<\/a>.<\/p>\n

London has always been known for its offbeat, cutting edge sense of style, and the Alternative Fashion Week shows seldom disappoint.<\/strong> Showcasing emerging new talent and innovative designs, the event emphasizes fashion-forward pieces that range from the utterly wearable to avant-garde styles that give us a glimpse of what the future of fashion may someday look like on city streets.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get the wrong impression, though\u2014far from being intimidating, London\u2019s Alternative Fashion Week aims to make fashion more approachable and affordable. Held under the glass roof of Spitalfields Market in Hackney<\/a><\/strong>, an appropriately cool venue known for its one-of-a-kind yet reasonably priced street market finds, the lunchtime fashion shows are open to everyone. The event is perfect for people-watching\u2014and often, the outfits of the attendees are as inspiring as those on stage.<\/p>\n
