Fashion Update: Knightsbridge street scene

PLANS to televise last month's Paris spring and summer haute couture shows live to the United States flopped at the last minute. But next week, shoppers in Knightsbridge will have the chance to watch the New Generation catwalk collections live in London. Huge video screens are being installed in the windows of Harvey Nichols to transmit the two shows for up-and-coming designers to street level as they happen on the fifth floor of the department store. The designers showing on Thursday 24 February, at 10am and 2pm, will be Clements Ribeiro, Copperwheat Blundell, Idol, Lainey Keogh, Paul Frith, Sonnentag Mulligan, Stephen Fuller, The New RenaisCAnce and Xavier Foley.
