As a show of imperial might Burberry’s show - which closed London Fashion Week last night - was a masterclass. The British super brand erected an enormous circus-like eight turreted tent in Victoria Park, complete with its knight-emblem flags flying from each peak. Vicky Park’s annual All Points East festival could but dream of such grandeur.
The fleet of VIPS - including Skepta in his custom racing green Rolls Royce - was quite the interruption to rush hour in Hackney with some locals - and Peta protesters - rushing the gates to try and get in. The front row included everyone from Olivia Coleman and Joanna Lumley to Lily Allen, Bukayo Saka, Barry Keoghan, Cara Delevingne, Lila Moss, Central Cee, Jourdan Dunn, Jonathan Bailey and Patsy Kensit.
