WINDOWS ON THE FASHION WORLD
The self-proclaimed hub of London Fashion Week, the May Fair Hotel, is going all out for fashion week (16-21 Sep). For one thing, its windows will be transformed into works of fashion art, a la Champs Elysee. Elsewhere there you’ll find fashion week cocktails and even a themed spa treatment. Stratton St, W1J 8LT. themayfairhotel.co.uk.

LINKS GET OLYMPIC NOD
Links of London are to design the official jewellery collection of London 2012. A blue and red woven band with an engraved “Team GB” silver plate plaque has been created to show support for the British atheletes and the games as a whole. A rather nifty way to show you’re keen, we think. £20, www.linksoflondon.com
