Luke Day’s menswear collection was inspired by Queen Elizabeth.
The stylist has revealed the 90-year-old monarch was the inspiration behind his collection for MSGM, which he debuted in Milan to great reviews.
He told the Mirror newspaper: "I think the Queen is a rather majestic muse, especially subverting it to be used for men’s fashion inspiration. The TV show The Crown has really put her at the forefront as our new TV obsession and reminded us what a style icon she is.
"Those images of her off duty driving a Range Rover are iconic now, as is her imitable style. The show was really fun to style, I loved turning the models into contemporary versions of her and giving it a sporty, youthful twist."
Luke – who is also editor of Britain’s GQ Style magazine – says his collection featured outfits inspired by the British countryside and silk heads carves paying homage to the British monarch.
Uploading some pictures of his models on the catwalk superimposed next to the Queen, he wrote: "YAAAAASSSS QUEEN!! Styling by me @msgm_official @massimogiorgetti image by @soune21 (sic)"
The Queen is regularly praised for her stylish but classic outfits and she was recently featured in Vanity Fair’s International Best-Dressed List.
Amy Fine Collins, a Vanity Fair correspondent, wrote at the time: "She has consistently represented who she is and what she stands for, without wavering from a standard she set a long time ago. Politics, culture, and class structure in the empire – all of that shifts constantly, but she doesn’t. She’s a beacon."
