Here’s our breakdown of how to find the best deals during the January sales. Voucher code sites Google ‘voucher codes’ and you’ll find a bunch of sites stuffed with savings.

Think of some off-putting elements of fashion shows: traffic, crowds, egos, the pressure to look entirely on-point, actually being invited… the list goes on. However, all of these things can be eliminated if you simply enjoy the show from the comfort of your own home; the only place where nobody can judge you for turning up in pyjamas. YouVisit is a site which offers virtual reality tours of reasonably exclusive places. You may have already seen the Mirror to the Soul video – a five minute behind-the-scenes glimpse from every angle of Fashion Week Russia – and not realised it was a collaboration between...
