London Fashion Week officially kicks off today ahead of what is sure to be a very exciting fews days in the city with Riccardo Tisci's debut at Burberry and Victoria Beckham's 10-year anniversary show. And, while there is always plenty of buzz around the biannual event, this season, the British Fashion Council has collated a Value of Fashion report which breaks down all the data surrounding the event, and the numbers are quite staggering.

Created in partnership with creative innovation studio, Holition as well as Google, Condé Nast and Pulsar, the BFC has released a data visualisation project entitled 'Blossoming Fashion Conversation'.

It showcases the amount of posts and reach on social, news and reviews associated to 12 major fashion topics before, during and after recent London Fashion Weeks, as well as rounding up numbers for how many pictures are taken, how many miles were driven and how much coffee was consumed.
