At 91, Queen Elizabeth II Attends First Fashion Week Show - 2018

(20 Feb 2018) QUEEN ELIZABETH II MAKES FIRST FASHION WEEK VISIT
Tuesday (20 FEB. 2018) marked Queen Elizabeth II's first visit to the showy catwalks of London Fashion Week.
The monarch squeezed in the front row, chatting with American Vogue editor Anna Wintour - who wore her trademark sunglasses - and presented an award recognizing British design excellence.
It was an unusual outing for the 91-year-old monarch, who seemed totally at ease at the type of event usually frequented by stars like Kate Moss and Sienna Miller.
She was elegant in a Angela Kelly duck egg blue tweed dress and jacket detailed with tiny aquamarine Swarovski crystals set off by formal black gloves.
Elizabeth carried a matching handbag - of course - and wore her mostly white hair swept back.
The queen didn't bother with the statement stiletto heels favored by many of the younger fashionistas, opting for sensible dark low-heeled court shoes for the awards presentation.
The royal family has often hosted Fashion Week receptions for top designers and journalists, but the new award - and the queen's personal visit - have added a new dimension to its support for the industry.
The lucky recipient was Richard Quinn, a recent fashion graduate of Central Saint Martins who started his own label in 2016 and has quickly earned recognition as part of the next wave of talented young British designers.
The London-based Quinn received the first Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design. The British Fashion Council chose him for the prize.
His provocative show included a model wearing what looked to be a decorated green motorcycle helmet with a dark visor along with black and white polka dot leggings and a gauzy top with different size dots.
The queen, who has maintained an active schedule even as her 96-year-old husband Prince Philip has stepped back from public life, took to the catwalk to address the crowd and praise Britain's fashion heritage.

[@smaranikadebi3555]

Thats what I thought…I mean the dresses don’t make any sense?😭

[@AnnaJo2000]

To be fair, the Queen could have asked Anna to remove her sunglasses, but she did not. I imagine Anna met the Queen earlier in the day without her sunglasses and curtseied.

[@jeromelondon3609]

Anna Wintour is not British. I’m not sure she’s ever curtsied and she had no obligation to do so.

[@AnnaJo2000]

@@jeromelondon3609 Who knows? I feel that maybe, the Queen didn't want to make Anna feel uncomfortable. I got to say though, it was a bit surreal to see the Queen and Anna Wintour seated together. 😁

Anne wintour of all people doesn't about protocol apparently!!

[@AnnaJo2000]

Anna did a very slight nod to the Queen, which you can do if you don't want to curtsey. Plus Anna waited until the Queen sat down before she sat down. As for her sunglasses, I doubt the Queen wanted to make Anna uncomfortable by asking her to remove them.

[@jules2291]

She was the only person in that room who's outfit didn't suck ...

[@tianjohn.gaming]

I have some random thoughts going through my head seeing this: 1. Anna seems to be one of the view that knows the rule to wait until the queen sat down before she sits down. 2. I don't think you should wear Sunglasses when you talk to the Queen... even if you're Anna Wintour... no? and 3. I'd guess there would be better Fashion Shows for the Queen then a show with motorcycling helmets and techno music lol.... A Chanel Show has more class for example... or Dior... anything like that...

@Erik Beierle I don't understand why people hate Anna Wintour. If a man is as single minded and dedicated he is praised. I like her, especially for all the good things she has done. The millions she has helped raise for charity and the careers she has helped to start. The world would be a poorer place without her. People think that fashion is just frivolity, but it supports thousands of people and is worth billions globally.
