Burberry closed London Fashion Week with a spectacular show inside the atrium of the National Theatre. The brutalist backdrop and British artist Gary Hume's teal draped artwork provided an impressive setting for the models walking the runway. The star-studded guests included world renowned models David Gandy, Jourdan Dunn and Rosie Huntington-Whitely; British actors Olivia Coleman, Michael Ward and Jodie Comer; and sporting champions Keely Hodgkinson, Declan Rice and Jack Draper.
The runway saw iterations of the classic trench coat, that is synonymous with Burberry, as well as the brand's iconic check - both taking centre stage. Creative Director Daniel Lee introduced a fresh colour palette, using light tones such as taupe, tangerine and a smoky blue - which honoured Burberry's deep rooted heritage whilst adding a modern twist.
Lee drew inspiration from the brand’s military heritage, blending classic styles with contemporary twists to create a collection that respects the past while looking forward to the future. Silhouettes included cinched waists contrasting with wider fits, alongside Burberry's strong line up of accessories, including a new lightweight bag. It was a fitting end to London Fashion Week's 40th Anniversary.
