Event Moves Forward Amid National Grief, with Some Key Shows Rescheduled
London Fashion Week is going ahead this weekend, just eight days after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, despite the 10-day national mourning period. Many had anticipated cancellations, but the government’s guidance allowed events to proceed at the discretion of organizers. While the official State Funeral on Monday, 19 September, falls during the fashion week, major shows such as Roksanda and Christopher Kane have been canceled or rescheduled out of respect. The fashion industry has had to adapt to these unprecedented circumstances, balancing public mourning with ongoing celebrations of creativity.
