Fashion house 16Arlington, which collaborated on Price’s final show, said he was “a singular creative force and one of the most influential British designers of his generation”.

Price died on Dec 16, only a few weeks after the show, in which singer Lily Allen made a splash wearing a black velvet dress said to resemble a famed look worn by Princess Diana.

The November show was his first in more than three decades, and was carried out in collaboration with 16Arlington creative director Marco Capaldo.

16Arlington said the collection of 16 looks was “a body of work that now carries special significance as his final project”.
