London Fashion Week kicked off to a strong start on Friday, with collections showing a deference to texture and colour, with BDSM-inspired leather a recurring theme.

Among today's LFW heavy-weights are Jasper Conran and Gareth Pugh, who will undoubtedly offer up a show rich in weirdness later in the day.

Irish fashion will have its day today with Simone Rocha, JW Anderson, Orla Kiely and newcomer Danielle Romeril all due to showcase their Autumn-Winter 15 collections.

Simone Rocha’s AW14 collection was one of last year’s fashion highlights, as was her show which took place in the TATE Modern Turbine Hall to the sound of Irish band Cloud Castle Lake.

More updates to come, with live updates and photographs from the runways available at The Prowlster
