British-American Fashion designer Harris Reed kicked off London Fashion Week AW22 with the 60 Years A Queen collection, inspired by an 1897 book on Queen Victoria. With Victorian-era details fused with styles from the club-kid scene, the collection experimented with retro tailoring, playful proportions, dramatic cuts and striking silhouettes.

As with previous collections by the designer, this Autumn/Winter 2022 collection featured upcycled wedding dresses and for this season, fabrics were donated by the Italian Bussandri family, the owners of a 100-year-old business offering regal upholstery fabrics. Sustainable elements were further woven into the collection thanks to deadstock fabrics sourced from a supplier based in London.

As Reed describes, 60 Years A Queen is a "queerer interpretation” of the regal wardrobe. A standout style from the collection is recognizable as the look designed for Iman at the MET Gala.
