As models pose for photographers a drunk tramp mounts the stage and starts to strip before spraying a can of Special Brew over the front row of journalists. This isn't anything to do with the faked theatrics of Red or Dead, this is just another day at Alternative Fashion Week. The event takes place each year at London's Spitalfields Market. There are five lunchtime catwalk shows, showcasing new designers, colleges and alternative fashion labels.

One of the many collections shown during the week aimed at the future office worker was designed by Coralie Scarnato and described as 'semi-tailored'. Jackets in felt and printed denim have unfinished and reversed seams with bright red linings for men. Skirts are layered and pleated in heavy dark grey and black felt.
Fleurri Weurri's show was the most co-ordinated and the excellent hair and make-up added to the 'Mad Max' meets meets urban warrior theme. The clothes (inspired by historical transport) feature modern materials including rubberised PVC made into quilted jackets.
Kwan Ying Law brought colour to the catwalk with bright Morrocan pinks and golden yellows made into long funnel dresses and boot-cut trousers matched with chiffon tops.
