Burberry closed out London Fashion Week last night, with a roster of A-listers filling the Tate Britain both on and off the catwalk. Creative director Daniel Lee was inspired by the 2023 film ‘Saltburn’ and fittingly, Richard E Grant walked the runway in a chunky, moss green tailored coat, with a thistle brooch pinned to the lapel. He was joined by models Naomi Campbell, Erin O’Connor and Karen Elson, as well as fellow actors Jason Isaacs (currently starring in The White Lotus) and Lesley Manville.
Lee, who joined Burberry in 2022 after previously serving as creative director at Bottega Veneta, has sent the industry rumour mill into overdrive as of late. Many publications have reported that this will be his last show for the heritage British house, due to ever-slumping financial results (it fell out of the FTSE 100 last September) and internal shake-ups (the company drafted in former Coach CEO Joshua Schulman last July to turn things around).
