THURSDAY 18 SEPT
Sinha-Stanic
OK - no messing about - this was a terrific collection; assured, slick, and intelligent. The sometimes confused message of past seasons was replaced with a superb display of colour, fabric, print and silhouette combing into a cohesive statement. From the very fist chic blazer and trousers to the final elaborately decorated sheath dress the designers never put a foot wrong.

On|Off's exhibitionists face the UJ Q&A.

UJ's pick of the best extra curricular LFW happenings.
