So what can shoppers expect to find? Rag & Bone have become a favourite with celebs like Emma Stone, Beyonce and Katie Holmes because of their low key yet chic take on street fashion. R&B are particularly strong on outerwear and denim (the brand started off as a jeans line) and have come up with some serious hero items like the Newbury boots and seasonal must have printed jeans.

While the main catwalk presentation will take place before the intimate shop showcase at LFW, the shop and show mark a home-coming for Neville and Wainwright who met at boarding school in Berkshire. David & ndash; now married to uber make-up artist Gucci Westman – and Marcus have built their business in New York’s Meatpacking District but as David said in a statement yestercday both are, “Thrilled to finally open a store in London.” He also paid tribute to R&B’s loyal band of British followers saying,  “It's exciting to present a collection for the first time in our home town and for it to take place in our own store feels really special. Showing during LFW will further strengthen our presence in Europe and, of course, it's lovely to be able to filter it directly to customers in the UK who have supported Rag & Bone since the beginning."
