London Fashion Week opened on Sept. 16 with shows by Burberry, J.W. Anderson and Topshop UNIQUE, with the industry putting on a brave face amid concerns over the impact of Brexit.

Many designers wanted to stay in the European Union, and there are fears about the impact of leaving on exports, costs and London's ability to attract design talent.

British Home Secretary Theresa May has raised the issue of EU's expansion to include candidate countries like Albania, Serbia, and Turkey.

British Prime Minister David Cameron unveiled his new cabinet on May 11 after an unexpected election victory that gave his Conservative party a narrow majority in parliament for the first time in nearly 20 years.
