STYLE British Designers Honour the Queen + More Viral Moments from London Fashion Week Richard Quinn, JW Anderson and Nensi Dojaka all paid tribute to the late monarch in their own unique ways. By Annika Lautens and Andrea Karr   Date September 21, 2022   This London Fashion Week had a simple motto: the show must go on. After Queen Elizabeth II‘s passing on September 8, there were many speculations about what would become of the upcoming British fashion event: Are they going to cancel it? Should they cancel it? Will anyone actually attend? But after a call between the British Fashion Council and a collective of designers, it was decided that yes, the show would go on — but respectfully so.  A few brands like Burberry and Raf Simons decided not to partake in the Spring 2023 season, but those who did used the opportunity to honour the Queen’s legacy. Nensi Dojaka paid tribute to Her Majesty with a carpet of white hydrangeas. A model at Harris Reed carried a lily of the valley bouquet, one of the Queen’s favourite flowers. Christopher Kane noted the floral prints in his collection were “symbolic of love, death, celebrations and condolences.”
