You may not have blagged front-row seats or after-party entry, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the thrills and spills of Fashion Week. To prove it, we've rounded up some of the hottest tickets in town, from the Fashion and Textile Museum's Catwalk to Cover exhibition to the beautilicious Bourjois Boutique. We promise there won't be a velvet rope or guest list in sight.
Make the most of up to 65 per cent off Bourjois's mainline cosmetics as well as limited edition products at this temporary boutique. It's not all about the make-up though: the pop-up is hosting an array of events and experiences too, from hair styling and nail art services to an in-store TV screening footage from LFW's catwalks. Professional make-up artists will be on hand to groom you to perfection as well as offer one-to-one sessions to school you on the latest trends. View the listing
Crack into the world of high fashion in this revealing exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum. The exhibition offers a glimpse into the backstage workings of an event like Fashion Week through cadid snaps taken by catwalk photographers at the shows of Karl Largerfeld, Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs and more.

Mary Katrantzou must feel awfully at home at Topshop. The print designer has come up with no less than three collections for the high street mega-store and this, her third, is the most ambitious to date. Launching to coincide with the start of LFW, the ten-piece capsule line should tempt the fashion pack away from the catwalk with its bold, clashing prints and oriental and floral motifs. We’re particularly in awe of Katrantzou’s statement mini dress that’s cut like a vase with a high neck, narrow body and structured skirt. Genius. Available in-store and online. Price range: £40-£350.

TopShop’s launch pad for young designers, NEWGEN, is now in its tenth year and to celebrate, the store has called on its NEWGEN alumni to collaborate on a series of limited edition T-shirts. Christopher Kane, Erdem, Peter Pilotto, Jonathan Saunders and Gareth Pugh are among a clutch of designers who’ve come up with desirable prints. The tees are only £30, and as an added sweetener, all proceeds are going to homeless charity Centrepoint. Available in-store and online. £30 each. View the Topshop listing
One of a series of fashion discussions with industry notables. This time around it's the utterly fabulous Anna Dello Russo – creative consultant and editor-at-large for Vogue Japan – in the hotseat. ADR will discuss what makes Italian fashion so important and the talk will be streamed live for those who can't attend at HarpersBazaar.co.uk. Post any questions to Anna Dello Russo on Twitter by using the hashtag #peronitalks. On during London Fashion Week. View the listing
Celebrating the start of LFW, online fashion hub UpStyler is teaming up with The House of St Barnabas (a charitable events venue) to bring you a high-end vintage shopping experience. Hand-picked clothing and accessories are set to fill the rails and tables giving you a good, edited selection to choose from. Sip on a glass of prosecco and indulge in a few buys safe in the knowledge that any profits made on the day will be heading to The House of St Barnabas - a charity that helps homeless people back into employment.

Admired for both her polka-dot-heavy work and her unique sense of style, artist Yayoi Kusama has long been admired by the fashion world. So the 82-year old's well-timed retrospective at Tate Modern is generating more than a murmur of anticipation among the fashion clan jetting in for Fashion Week. Expect to spot a few familiar faces among the crowds at the show – that is, if you can tear your eyes away from Kusama's mesmerising work. If you can't make it, sit tight and wait for the forthcoming Louis Vuitton and Yayoi Kusama collaborative line due this summer. On during London Fashion Week. View the listing
