London Fashion Week requires a lot of tweeting, instagramming, boomeranging and snapchatting which can quickly send your phone’s battery into the dreaded ‘red zone’. Don’t forget to pack a reliable portable charger that will keep your social media presence in tact like this adorable unicorn charger from Skinnydip.

Nothing is more essential during London Fashion week than a stylish yet ultra-comfy pair of shoes to get you through the long day and crazy night. Our deputy editor swears by Rogues and we’re in love with this pair in particular.

The pressure of looking your very best at Fashion Week can only mean one thing, a very heavy and cumbersome makeup bag. Declutter and trust in charlotte tilbury’s instant Look Palette which is the perfect companion for a fabulous on-the-go touch up.
