"Everybody now makes a point of coming to London - which is very different to Milan and Paris," he told us previously. "London is now so important to all these international buyers. London is the future."

While he's never held an official spot on the schedule, the Spanish-born designer was heavily involved in last seasons London Fashion Week - responsible for all the imagery used across campaign and marketing material, a collaboration he said was a tribute to his late friend, Anna Piaggi. Blahink was also awarded the British Fashion Award for Outstanding Achievement in 2012.
