At age 91, Queen Elizabeth II is still in for a surprise ... So the head of the British Royal House visited London Fashion Week yesterday - for the first time in her life!
As always dressed in a stylish style - in a delicate blue costume - she followed the show of British designer Richard Quinn in the front row. Next to her sat the "Queen of Fashion" - Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of US Vogue. The pictures of the two are now going around the world.
The Queen seemed rather 'amused' by the designs of Richard Quinn, who sent his models across the catwalk in bright, long flower dresses with motorcycle helmets, but also in leather dresses and fishnet stockings.
But that was not the only honor that came to fashion designer Quinn. After the show, the Queen personally presented the "Elizabeth II Fashion Award", which will be awarded each year in the future, a new up-and-coming talent in the British fashion industry.
When she presented the award, the Queen said about the industry: "From the Tweed from the Hebrides to the Nottingham Peak, and of course Carnaby Street, our fashion industry has been renowned for great craftsmanship for many years, and continues to provide world-class textiles and innovative and practical design.
