The schedule of runway shows, events, and parties — which begin today — has been scaled back in response to the monarch’s passing, but the show had no choice but to go on
, the established founder of JW Anderson and creative director of LVMH-owned Loewe, put it plainly, canceling could have damaging implications for younger, smaller brands.
Some decided not to partake. Burberry, which was slated show a stone’s throw from Buckingham Palace, canceled its headline slot on Saturday night. In a “mark of respect,” it has now been rescheduled to October 26 with a new location. Belgian designer Raf Simons canceled his show as well. London’s young designers often anticipate and ride on the pull of established names and advertisers.
Daniel W. Fletcher, 30, is one of the first designers showing this week. The Central Saint Martins–trained designer, who placed second on Netflix’sshared that his show will mark the moment with a sensitive tribute: “As someone who has experienced several important losses of my own in the last 12 months, I am acutely aware of how different people deal with grief,” he tells the Cut. “The queen’s death is a huge loss to a lot of people, especially for her family, so I want to be sensitive to this.
Like Fletcher, Reed, “in a deep level of respect,” offered a tribute to the late queen in a final look that featured a bouquet of her majesty’s favorite flowers: lily of the valley. But homage and direct references to the queen aren’t the only approaches anticipated during the next few days.
