Stand outside the Natural History Museum on Cromwell Road, South Kensington tomorrow at about 4.30pm and you will witness a late Nineties breed in action: the fashion pack at London Fashion Week. They will be preparing to attend the Miu Miu show, which is the younger more accessible line from Prada - who has chosen to show in London for the first time. The fashion pack will be wearing the best of the new season's designer clothes - hair freshly cut, the latest make-up colours, and the latest accessories. It's a daunting sight if you're attending a show for the first time.

And next weekend the general public can. On 1 and 2 March, after the official shows finish, there will be a chance for 6,000 fashion-conscious people to attend highlights of this London Fashion Week. And they can get a preview of the autumn and winter collections as well as the designer wear available now in the fashion tents outside the museum.Designers taking part include Clements Ribeiro, Amanda Wakely, Abe Hamilton, Pearce Fionda, Copperwheat Blundell and Red or Dead. And in true fashion- show form there will be a goody bag on each seat, containing products from Vidal Sassoon and more. There will be no need to lie your way past security guards or suffer for hours standing in a queue.
