Queen’s Funeral Pushes Dates for London Fashion Week

Designers have been announcing the dates and times of their shows and presentations that have been moved due to clashes with the day of the Queen’s funeral. Burberry will now show in London at noon on 26 September.

Its show will now take place between the end of Milan Fashion week and just before Paris.

The British Fashion Council had advised that all events scheduled for 19 September should be moved and also that parties and other such celebrations across the fashion week should be cancelled.

But it continues to encourage visitors to come to LFW to support the designers in what should have been the first normal season post-pandemic.

While Burberry has chosen a date outside of LFW — confident that it’s a big enough draw to make an impact at any time — other labels are sticking as close to their original fashion week dates as possible.
