After a day’s hiatus to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral, London Fashion Week concluded on 20 September with shows from stalwart Emilia Wickstead and hotly tipped newcomer Chet Lo. The anticipated event of the day, however, was a finale from Richard Quinn.
The Peckham-based designer had a special connection to Her Majesty, as his LFW show was the only one she attended in her 70-year reign. In 2018, she presented Quinn with the inaugural QEII Award for British Design. A thoughtful tribute at his Spring Summer 2023 show was to be expected.
