From Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, and Vivienne Westwood to the more experimental looks of club kids, punks, and mods, Britain consistently produces some of the most interesting fashion in the world. And each year, more than 30 universities and fashion programs from all over the United Kingdom convene in London to present their top graduates' work at a four-day runway-show extravaganza. Students compete for the gold medal (this time, it went to Bath Spa University's Chloe Jones) and in categories like womenswear, textiles, knitwear, and accessories. We sent a photographer to capture some of the street fashions outside of the festivities. Click ahead to see a fair amount of acid wash, tons of unidentifiable vintage, animal bags, spiky baseball hats, and more.
