Genius Daniel Lee joined Burberry as Chief Creative Officer in October 2022 and in early February 2023, the first creative expression of Burberry under Daniel Lee was unveiled, and with it an evolution of the Burberry logo and Equestrian Knight Design. Following his debut runway collection for Autumn Winter 2023 at London Fashion Week, we see Lee take on Summer 2025 in his collection In London It Was Summer.

On their SS25 collection, Burberry wrote: “Burberry icons evolve in a collection grounded in joy and a warm sense of familiarity.” The latest collection was shown in London’s National Theatre at 4pm, 16th September 2024, and in traditional Burberry style, showed the world how trench coats are really done while keeping in tone with the tagline of the showcase: “Born of function, grounded in heritage”.

The SS25 collection itself stayed true to that signature Burberry style but with the perfect modern twist, producing exciting new pieces that still uphold the clean, classy essence. A melting-pot of classic Burberry colours: beige, grey, purple, and brown expertly paired with pastels for summer including yellows,

greens, blues, and baby pinks create a classic summer palette that will never go out of style. We also loved to see the resurgence of the Nova Check print that put Burberry on the map which h was seen scattered across multiple pieces, adding an exquisite hint of elegance and stability to a new collection.

Coats, the Burberry speciality, saw the addition of thick feather detailing along the hood providing a new sense of drama and movement to the pieces. This feathering spanned trench coats leather jackets, and raincoats to ensure the added texture can enhance every look.

Buckles and poppers adorning the shoulder have also been implemented to enhance more traditional styles, allowing for the tried-and-true coats with trusted functionality can sing a new song next summer.

Perhaps their most genius design yet is the trench coat dress that graced the National Theatre. Being seen in an orange and a dark grey, this dress perfectly upholds the iconic Burberry trench coat in a new style for the summer months. With loose flutter-style sleeves and a flowy A-Line skirt, the sundress classic

has had the perfect Burberry make-over and if autumn is ‘your season’, this dress is the ingenious way to never have to compromise style for the weather.

Adding a pop of sparkle to the runway were the stunning sequin dresses. Seen in teal, black, silver, pink, and gold, these dresses shone like the sun on the summer runway and either styled in solitary or with a classic coat, these dresses are not to be missed. Lee has noticed that women only need one thing: a warm coat to accompany an evening dress. And pairing these dresses with jackets is a genius and functional way to never compromise comfort for style.

In particular, the showstopping gold, worn by Chinese supermodel Liu Wen, who closed the show was the perfect encapsulation of Burberry essence, utilising their signature palette, while demonstrating Lee’s innovative approach that ensures Burberry is always two steps ahead.

Guests flooded to the show in their support of the arts, and guests including TikTok’s favourite trad couple Nara and Lucky Blue Smith, Barry Keoghan, Eberechi Eze, Jade Thirlwall, and Kong Hyo-Jin all donned their Burberry favourites and expressed their admiration with Hannah Dodd, Bridgerton star, simply calling the show ‘Beautiful’.

Pharrell Williams, the newly appointed Creative Director of Louis Vuitton, was one of the biggest names used to promote the Moncler Genius event that took place on Monday night. Pharrell took to the red carpet with a thick khaki blanket wrapped around his shoulders, on its own, this just seems to be a quirky accessory from a fashion-forward individual. Maybe the Hollywood superstar hasn’t adjusted to the British climate? But just half an hour after the Moncler Genius event opened, Burberry’s models began their trip down the runway. 

When Burberry declared that they intended to grow their accessories profit by over 50% under Daniel Lee’s creative direction, we don’t think anyone really knew how they were planning on doing that. We assumed that there would be a lot of elaborate accessories, handbags and hats, we never thought that the answer would be hot water bottles. Expanding their accessories towards more domestic items sounds like a simple way to increase this revenue. The viral Versace bathrobes retail for £520 and are extremely popular despite the fact that they are not items that you really get to wear in public; hot water bottles fit into this niche category of luxury accessory.

However, we cannot help but feel that there is more to this development than meets the eye. Why didn’t this trend of high-fashion domestic accessories hit when everybody was at home during the Covid-19 pandemic? Why now? Well, all signs point to one thing, this is yet another example of fashion glamorising poverty, using indicators of social class as trend items, the rich yet again cosplay as the poor. We are currently in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis, many families have been left unable to heat their homes, hot water bottles and blankets will be how they stay warm during the winter months. But here we have luxury fashion houses presenting this crisis as a ‘trend’ or ‘aesthetic’.

While you could try to put a more positive spin on these events by arguing that this promotes alternative ways of staying warm rather than using up fossil fuels and contributing to the climate crisis, we think we know better than to assume this. We have seen various instances in the past where the fashion industry has latched on to various indicators of social class and turned them into trends; in 2023 its ‘cool’ to be cold.

Burberry has undergone a rebranding. The iconic British luxury brand has released their latest campaign, which happens to be the first campaign released under the direction of new chief creative officer, Daniel Lee. Burberry are taking a bold step in the modernisation of their brand due to its rich heritage and associated prestigious nature. However, this campaign has shown us they are not sacrificing the historic brand ties to British culture, nor their own brand identity. 

The brand has done well to express to us that this is the new them and changes will be occurring. All past Instagram imagery has been removed, leaving no traces of the past within their social media presence. Their logo has also been updated too, re-enforcing this is not a drill for the fashion giant. A fresh perspective and direction for the brand is on the horizon.

However, the campaign is still heavily influenced by the brand’s heritage and association with Britain. The campaign features many British musicians, including John Glacier and Shygirl. The images were specifically and intentionally captured in front of many famous landmarks around London, such as Big Ben and Houses of Parliament. Their iconic check features in many of the new shots as well as signature pieces, such as the Burberry trench coat. We have therefore been re-assured that they will not lose their heritage, as they adapt for the modern market and consumer. 

We are excited to see what is instore for Burberry as Daniel Lee takes over the branding. A collection has not yet been created under his authority, however, will only be a matter of time.

Burberry’s Virtual Handbags

Many of us might not understand, but the metaverse will change fashion. We have seen Fashion Week and other fashion shows in the metaverse, a network of 3D virtual worlds. And even Coach and Gucci expanded their collections into the metaverse. Now Burberry is joining the metaverse forces by releasing a collection of virtual handbags in collaboration with Roblox. 

The limited edition of virtual handbags will only be available on Roblox, allowing users to dress their avatar in designer items. Inspired by the Burberry signature Lola bag, the collaboration is influenced by the brand’s “affinity for nature and the outdoors”. The bags usually cost about £1,500.00 and are available for 800 Robux (£8.99). 

Burberry will launch the limited edition bags every day from the 11th of June till the 15th, with every bag only being available for 24 hours. 

Adidas x Wood Wood 

The Adidas Originals “Forum Low” were released in the 80s. With their relaxed design, they were made for basketball but soon took over the music scene. Now, the retro shoe comes in a new design, making it perfect for the tennis court. 

Adidas and Copenhagen-based lifestyle brand Wood Wood have joined forces to reinterpret the 80s classic. Re-envisioned by WOOD WOOD’s co-founder Brian SS Jensen, they created a no-fuss tennis shoe. They swapped the Velcro fastening with laces to achieve that but kept the iconic “Forum Low” design. The shoes come in three colour stories, paying homage to the 80s colours: Mustard Yellow, Burnt Orange and the Wood Wood exclusive Electric blue. The new design also keeps the characteristic smooth white leather, the perforated toe box, the mesh tongue and, of course, the three stripes. 

The collection launched on June 13, with a global launch following on July 21.

Burberry

The Lola bag is the latest release from Burberry and stays true to the brands design roots whilst being modernized in a fitting and sophisticated way. With a surface of checked quilting and a serious amount of attitude to boot it would only be fitting for the brand to produce a campaign with an equal amount of attitude and they’ve definitely succeeded. Starring models including Bella Hadid, Jourdan Dunn and Ella Richards, the campaign features the stars in nude and brown coloured studios, mimicking the colours of the new bag, and riding on mechanical horses. The campaign has a distinct Burberry charm and, of course, features the brand’s iconic check motif sprinkled throughout, both on the clothes the models are wearing and in parts of the set design.

Rhodes by Hailey Bieber

Not just a new campaign now, but a new brand all together! Hailey Bieber recently announced the launch of her brand-new skincare brand Rhode, set to launch in June of this year. Whilst no specific products have yet been announced Hailey has posted two promo shots to her Instagram, one of her gazing intimately into the camera and another more playful one of her posing with a, frankly delicious looking, glazed donut against her face. Of course, as would be expected, her skin is looking radiant and flawless in both shots with a silky-smooth glow radiating through both images. We’ll keep well updated with the journey of Rhodes as more information and products are released in the coming weeks!

Coach

Coach have recently released a sweet campaign celebrating all the mothers of the world ready for Mother’s Day. The new collection from the brand features a variety of sleek clutch bags in colours including pastel mints and lilacs, a variety of purses coming in different sizes and styles including a clean white variant and a brown version with patterning and light blue accents, and printed sliders adorned with cute blue and white flowers. The campaign itself focuses on celebrating mothers first and foremost with the products taking somewhat of a backseat. Stars including Jennifer Lopez, Noah Beck, Tommy Dorfman and Jessica Kelly Basquiat are seen speaking about what their mothers mean to them and how they have shaped them into the people they are now. It is definitely one of the most heartwarming campaigns we have seen in quite a while.

Fendi

Fendi are taking things back to the 70s with their latest retro inspired collection. The new campaign features a heavy emphasis on denim with everyday staples such as shirts, shorts and jackets being given oversized shapes, refreshing shades of colour and small yet sophisticated accents to give them a wonderful mix of elegance and quiet edge. Jewelry and bags are also an important part of the campaign with the brand emphasizing their significance in elevating an outfit and highlighting how important accessorizing can be. The campaign itself is a more simplistic one with models including Smilla Osswald, Sun Mizrahi and Metta Irebe posing wearing the items in the collection, but it does its job of highlighting the intricacies of the products and proudly puts them front and centre.

Paul Smith x Priya Ahluwallia

Yet in that entire time frame he has never done a fashion collaboration with another brand… until now that is as the designer has teamed up with Priya Ahluwallia for an 11-piece collection focused on innovation, creativity and sustainability. The designers are two of the most distinct working in the modern British fashion industry so, of course, the collaboration is incredibly distinct featuring an array of unique, colourful prints and clean colour blocks across shirts, shorts, jumpers, hats and more.

The rouge lipstick comes in a variety of subtly different shades ranging from darker variants to lighter ones meaning there is a shade for every occasion.

The campaign captures a journey through different worlds, blending the classicism of still images with the modernity of CGI technology. In the photos taken by Danko Steiner, the famous model stands strong on architectural plinths reflected in the water, in a minimalist reinterpretation of coastal lands, reads the note. The images of the campaign turn into a dream digital realm into a video, created by visual artist Frederik Heyman, with a CGI incarnation of Naomi Campbell.

“Working with Riccardo is always magical,” she said. “He always has such a unique vision and he can always bring out a new aspect of me, pushing me to do things I wouldn’t even think of. Working with Burberry is also such an honor. It is a British institution and it has been since it was founded in 1856: in a sense, you feel like you are representing your country. I feel that British style and attitude always drive trends. We don’t just wear it, we live it.”

“For my third TB Summer Monogram collection, I wanted to celebrate the balance between our heritage and the importance of always evolving and looking ahead. The collection captures that feeling of summer optimism, constant momentum, as well as excitement for the future,” Tisci said. “And for this campaign I couldn’t think of anyone but my incredible friend Naomi Campbell, that best symbolizes this spirit. Naomi has this transcendental energy and beauty and embodies both a timeless classicism and the vitality of summer”.

To bring this campaign to life, Tisci worked with a creative team including photographer Danko Steiner, stylist Catherine Baba, makeup artist Adam Fleischhauer and hairstylist Jawara, as well as collaborating with the visual artist Frederik Heyman to give life to the campaign in a unique CGI world.

The new TB Summer Monogram collection will be available online and in selected Burberry stores worldwide from July 16.

Burberry has just dropped a massive advertising campaign to push its signature bag, the Olympia.

Now that we are all getting out and about again, the brand’s latest push recruits FKA twigs, Kendall Jenner and Shygirl to promote the over-the-shoulder accessory. In a statement, Creative Chief of Burberry Riccardo Tisci said:

“When designing the Olympia, I was thinking about creating the perfect form of a handbag – something that could capture the essence of femininity. So, for the campaign, I wanted to celebrate three incredible women in my life who embody the power and beauty of feminine energy: FKA twigs, Kendall and Shygirl. These women are amazingly talented and confident, and have a natural fierceness and determination to carve their own paths, each freely expressing their originality through their creativity.”

The brand hails these women as ‘modern goddesses’ wearing the Olympia in an ‘ancient world reimagined’. The bag takes on a beautifully classic, sculptural form in its crescent shape – a modern take on a timeless piece.

You’ll be able to pick one up at the series of Olympia-themed pop-ups scattered around department stores of the brand’s key retail partners – including Harrods, Goodman, Galaxy Macau and Nanjing Deji Plaza. With an assortment of Olympia varying in shapes, style and colours combined with the chance to experience the brand’s new AR initiative (which spotlights the craftmanship of Burberry and inspiration behind the accessory) the pop-ups are sure to be busy.

The post Riccardo Tisci Captures The Essence Of Femininity Once Again With the New Burberry Bag Campaign appeared first on Voir Fashion.

In a celebration of naturalism and femininity, Burberry’s AW21 ready to wear collection appears to be a comfortable, multi-textured tribute to the power of women and Mother Nature.

In a theme that courses through the work of Riccardo Tisci, Burberry’s chief creative officer, exploration of gender and fluidity continues with this collection, as flowing silhouettes and subtle masculine edge create androgyny in the pieces. This is no conventional dedication to the power of femininity. Putting elegance first, there are no patronising feminine shapes or motifs that often feature in male-directed collections aimed at a dedication to women, and appreciation is furthered by a certain subtle expression of women’s fashion through history in the collection’s silhouettes and shapes, brought up to 2021 with experimental proportions and eyewear fit for science fiction.

The collection gives us range and diversity – between futuristic arrangements and the use of bold colour are full fur pieces, dresses, coats and hats that fulfill the ode to Mother Nature Tisci nods to. Like most of us during lockdown, Tisci found an appreciation for the natural world, and it’s apparent in the collection’s clear naturalist feel.

There is sensuality in the show’s subtlety and bare-ness,with the neutral-toned backdrop, the empowering presence of the woman, and the collection’s mix of classic Burberry colours with vivid, optimistic brights. The collection is authentically British in it’s approach to femininity, the shapes and fabrics aren’t sensual themselves, no vulgar or sexualising themes, but instead they compliment the woman wearing them – these garments allow women to be sensual, empowering, elegant on their own, which is a true celebration of femininity – for the female gaze not the male. Tisci says it himself: “It’s very sexy, I think, but without being vulgar. Femininity is something I really wanted to achieve at Burberry when I arrived, because it’s a very masculine company,”

The show was opened by British up and coming artist Shygirl, who’s spoken word performance was a captivating homage to Mother Nature and naturalism in a spiritual and almost religious approach. It was the perfect entrance to such a show, and set in stone the ambitions of the brand this season.

With no trainers or streetwear fulfilling garments in sight, this collection and show is a refresh on the way fashion seems to point at the moment, and provides an optimism about women’s fashion among the key fashion houses for the future.

The post GET THE LOOK: Autumn Looks to Take You From the AM to PM appeared first on Voir Fashion.

‘A love affair between a mermaid and a shark, set against the ocean, then brought to land’ is what inspired Riccardo Tisci’s Spring 2021 Burberry collection. A collaboration with the performance artist Anne Imhof, the show saw a contemporary and dystopian reimagination of fairy tales, focussing particularly on the relationship and contrast between the mystical and the natural. Although exuding mystery and isolation, set in a divinely excluded woodland, the show’s live broadcast (virtually ‘hosted’ by Bella Hadid, Rosalía, Erykah Badu and Steve Lacey) grounds London Fashion Week in its new pandemic inspired approach – an ode to online and distanced art.

Tisci’s first collection post-lockdown, his looks are evidently inspired by an element of isolation, and the subsequent joy we gain from escaping this – a motive visually emphasised by the models promenading amongst the trees, appearing from heavily thicketed areas to light, open spaces. With garments orienting heavily around the colour blue, we see the metaphor of escapism through a link to water. Alongside standing as a contemporary reimagination of Burberry’s heritage (its iconic trench coat created during WW1) this focus speaks to an element of freedom, alluding to powerful symbolism behind water: ‘newness, freshness and cleansing’. This element was further emphasised by camera angles, showing them changing inside (then leaving) tight confined boxes. This insertion of artistry to the model’s movement and transitions again emphasised Tisci’s focus on change and evolution.

Top Moments To Know About the Show:

The show was set in the middle of the English Countryside

Walking through the quintessential English Countryside, the models walked the catwalk surrounded by the depths of English woods. A real testament to how we have spent the majority of lockdown. Walks.

The collections was introduced by a host of celebs including Bella Hadid and Rosalina

No better way to introduce an iconic collection other than a zoom (of course) hosted by Erykah Badu alongside Rosalina, Bella Hadid, and Steve Lacy

The muse of the collection was inspired by a mermaid and a shark

“Swim with the great Burberry Shark at your own risk” inspired by an array of netting, fishnets, fisherman hats, and fish illustrations.
