QUEEN Elizabeth II has showed Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle they are not the only ones with an eye for fashion.

However, it was Anna Wintour’s appearance at the show that got people talking, with many taking to social media to slam the Vogue artistic director’s poor etiquette while speaking to Her Royal Highness.

The monarch, who made her first visit to London Fashion Week to present an award sat next to Wintour in the front row.

Wintour kept her trademark dark sunglasses on while chatting to the Queen.

One Twitter user said Wintour should show respect for the “REAL Queen”, while another called her behaviour “so rude”. Others said that Wintour looked ridiculous and was being “disrespectful”.

Wintour has previously said that she wears the glasses to hid her emotions during a show.

“They are seriously useful. I can sit in a show and if I am bored out of my mind, nobody will notice … At this point, they have become, really, armour,” she reportedly said in an interview on 60 Minutes in 2009.

She also toured showrooms before presenting the award, which will now be presented annually to new talent in the industry, on the final day of fashion week.

Quinn established his label in 2016 after studying fashion at Central Saint Martins and has been widely recognised as one of Britain’s talented young designers.

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.

“As a tribute to the industry, and as my legacy to all those who have contributed to British fashion, I would like to present this award for new, young talent,” said the Queen.

“From the tweed of the Hebrides to Nottingham lace, and of course Carnaby Street, our fashion industry has been renowned for outstanding craftsmanship for many years, and continues to produce world-class textiles and cutting edge, practical designs,” she added.

Quinn described the occasion as “a bit surreal”, adding that he would like to dress future royal family member Meghan Markle, who will marry Prince Harry in May.

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.
