The cultural richness brought by migrations across the world, familial nostalgia and the frenetic pace of London life marked the second day of the city's fashion week on Saturday (Feb 17) as up-and-coming designers showed off their styles for the season ahead.

Some 60 designers, ranging from rising talents to renowned brands like Burberry, are exhibiting their new designs over five days, hoping to draw the interest of buyers and fashion influencers.
