How stars are making a mint from fashion's front-row seats


 
London Fashion Week begins in a few days' time - bringing with it the annual scrum for publicity.

Star-studded: Burberry's front row last season included Dev Patel, Freida Pinto Mary-Kate Olsen, Liv Tyler, Emma Watson and Gwyneth Paltrow
