London Fashion Week, the fashion world pays tribute to Vivienne Westwood

After last September’s Fashion Week marked by mourning for Elizabeth II, February’s fashion week will also be crossed by condolences for another British queen, Vivienne Westwood, doyenne of English fashion appreciated all over the world. The designer was remembered with a memorial mass for her at Southwork Cathedral in London which was held just hours before the start of the shows in the City.
