It's London Fashion Week time. Guides in stylish ponchos give directions.

Yes, it's London Fashion Week time and the capital has been inundated with a lot of rain.  I mean lots of the wet stuff.
At the Somerset House - the main venue for the designers' showrooms - special guides are kitted out in weather-proofed ponchos - perfect for the weather - come rain or shine.

They are the American Express know-it-all warriors - stationed at the Concierge Hub, they provide answers to any questions one may have - from catwalk show times to venues and directions. The capes they wear are by British designer Christopher Raeburn, whose inspiration for the Autumn/Winter 2014 season comes from the Arctic, using British fabrics such as the tartan Hainsworth wool above.
Inside the building, designer Kate Sheridan shows she has a couple of weather ponchos to boost too.

Here Kate shows one in made in water-resistant British waxed cotton with Liberty print lining.

Another features a tartan waxed cotton with cotton moleskin lining.
