London Fashion Week rounds off its 40th birthday with Akshata Murty at Downing Street

Welcome to Downing Street to celebrate London Fashion Week’s finale and 40th anniversary tea — and champagne, obviously, this is fashion after all. The style set nibbled on miniature pastel de nata and smoked salmon sarnies.

The crowd included businesswoman Natasha Poonawalla — a patron of Harris Reed, who hosted Edward Enninful’s post-fashion awards bash in December — and Boris’s little brother, Lord Johnson of Marylebone. There was a well-dressed smattering of the city’s design talent, including Lady Cameron and Anya Hindmarch, Andreas Kronthaler (Vivienne Westwood’s husband), Emilia Wickstead, Ozwald Boateng, Stephen Jones, 16Arlington’s Marco Capaldi, David Koma and Roksanda Ilinčić.
