The death of Queen Elizabeth II and the new crown prince 142

Fashion giants Burberry and Raf Simons withdrew their participation.

Others such as 'Temperley', 'Simon Rocha' and 'Paul and Joe' will feature.

Caroline Rush, director of the British Fashion Council (BFC), explains how to run a fashion event in these conditions.

How does one announce a fashion week during mourning for the late Queen Elizabeth II?

We had predicted the return of Fashion Week in its full glory after the coronavirus pandemic.

Unfortunately, due to the death of Her Majesty, our plans have changed.

We are now in a period of national mourning and we must be careful and respect what is happening in the country.

The Queen has been a champion of our industry for many years.

The shows and presentations, the commercial part of London Fashion Week, continue.

But the other accompanying holiday events - celebrations and celebrations - have been canceled until Paris Fashion Week.

There will be no reviews on the day of the funeral.

Our program will conclude with Richard Quinn receiving the first Elizabeth II Award for Fashion.

The Queen was at his first show in 2018.

Has the British fashion industry recovered from the pandemic?

How does the British Fashion Council support designers?  

The pandemic has been a blow to everyone who received their degrees in the past two years.

It was very difficult to start a business or start a job.

During the pandemic, we have been involved in collecting money and selling masks, with various donations and foundations.

It was a way to support the fashion houses.

In the first year of the pandemic, more than one million pounds was directed at various companies.

Last year we directed £1.3m.

Fashion week is famous for the participation of young designers.

Do you think the environmental footprint of the fashion industry is more important than the work of young people in fashion?  

Categorically.

Not surprisingly, young designers are very concerned about the footprint we leave.

We know that the fashion industry, unfortunately, has a big impact on carbon emissions.

That's why fashion is under attack.

It is an advantage to have young designers who show that they want to work in a new way.

This will push the entire industry to change.  

In the past, we were used to seeing big companies filled with young designers.

Now there is a lot more mentoring, separation of search and development processes.
