Queen Elizabeth later presented the first-ever Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design. According to CNN, “It will be awarded annually to an emerging British fashion designer who shows talent and originality, whilst demonstrating value to the community and sustainable policies. Quinn established his namesake label in 2016, shortly after graduating from the fashion masters course at Central Saint Martins in London.”

After presenting the award, the Queen toured the designer showrooms at London Fashion Week.
