A week of full-wave parades will bring mourning. After the death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8, events will decrease dramatically. Raf Simons and Burberry have already announced the cancellation of their fashion shows.
“We are shocked to learn of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,” the British Fashion Council announced on Thursday, September 8. When the disappearance of the sovereign was announced, the institution immediately issued a press release expressing its concern, but not only. As London Fashion Week approaches, the British Fashion Council has also announced a change to the programme. The protocol calls for a week of parades in the UK capital from September 15 to 20 to be heavily affected. Given the importance of the meeting to the fashion industry, the presentations will be maintained, but any side events, store openings and other evenings will be cancelled. A simplified program combined with a specific device for the day of the funeral.

day of mourning
The funeral takes place ten days after the death of the queen, according to the official protocol. Although the day has not been officially announced, the British Fashion Council has already made arrangements to announce that all parades on the day must be postponed. On September 18, the official program announced the big names of the London calendar. Simona Rocha, David Koma, Erdem, Richard Quinn, who welcomed Elizabeth II in the front row in 2018, will have to postpone their parade if necessary. “We also ask designers to respect the nation’s climate and period of mourning when publishing their images,” adds the British Fashion Council. Designer Raf Simons and Burberry have already announced that they are canceling their fashion shows. Selfridges department store in London has closed its doors until September 10. An unprecedented device of historical extinction.
