The British designer will showcase a “one off special fashion presentation” at LFW on 18 February ahead of a World of Stella exhibition of Selfridges, a new fragrance and the opening of a second store.

However, she will then present her new collection in Paris as she has done for the past decade.

Meanwhile, dates for the Louis Vuitton Marc Jacobs exhibition at Les Arts Decoratifs in Paris have been announced.

The celebration of the long-running collaboration between the designer and the French leather goods firm will begin on 6 March and is set to run until 16 September.

Despite being linked with a move to Christian Dior to take over from disgraced designer John Galliano, Marc recently revealed he has no plans to leave Louis Vuitton because he enjoys considerable freedom with the company.

He explained: “I could never do this anywhere else.”
