The inaugural London men’s fashion week received a royal welcome by the Prince of Wales himself, reports the Independent, at a June 14 reception hosted by the heir to the throne at St. James’ Palace and attended by fashion designers like Tom Ford, Vivienne Westwood, Nicole Farhi and Philip Green. The new men’s fashion week, which joins Milan and Paris on the international circuit, will send some 50 labels down the runway over a three-day period.

This weekend’s Los Angeles Film Festival serves up at least one work with a fashion connection -- the L.A. debut of ‘Cadaver,’ starring an animated version of celebrated tween fashion blogger Tavi Gevinson singing the music of Neil Young. Jonah Ansell, the film’s writer/director, says Christopher Lloyd and Kathy Bates also appear in the work, which Ansell tells us is in the process of being developed into a full-blown animated musical (‘think ‘Little Mermaid’ meets ‘Les Miserables,’ ‘ he writes). The film screens Saturday at 4:30 p.m. at L.A. Live and again Sunday. Tickets: lafilmfest.com.
