The 25th London Fashion Week -- so
anticipated for so long -- is already winding down. There's giddiness in the air,
with all the late-night parties, cocktails, dinners and flowing Champagne.
The Champagne flowed a little more slowly, shows actually started on time
and there weren't the usual scrums -- and nasty bouncers -- at the entrance to
events. Few were in the mood to play during London Fashion Week, which this
season was a strictly business affair.
Everyone seems to have commerce on the brain: One designer told me that U.S. buyers' budgets are down 30 percent for the big luxury brands -- and "far more" for the smaller, independent labels, so it's time to explore new ways of doing business.
