This year’s London Fashion Week was all about Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

Like the rest of the world, the fashion industry is too mourning the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Many big British names in the fashion industry included plenty of nods to the Queen at London Fashion Week this year. The show happened during the time of national mourning after the Queen passed away on September 8.

The fashion week parties, of course, were canceled but the show went on, and designers had to make sure that the Queen who was a fashion icon in her own right would always be remembered.

The spring/summer 2023 shows happened as planned. However, some notable changes were made in remembrance of the late monarch.

Her Majesty, who loved wearing bright colors, was the queen of her unique style. She even had her fashion accolade named the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British design, which will now always be carried on in her loving memory.

The highlights of the London Fashion Week included crowns, black armbands, veils, and dresses with special significance to the Queen.
