The Victoria and Albert Museum is preparing to open its doors to one of British fashion's most recognizable garments. "The : Crafting an Icon" will run at V&A South Kensington from September 21, 2026 to January 3, 2027, landing inside the museum's rarely opened Prince Consort Gallery. The free display marks Burberry's 170th anniversary and gives the public a rare look at archival material that has never been shown before.
The timing is not accidental. September 21 also happens to be the day Burberry presents its spring 2027 collection during London Fashion Week, tying the brand's runway present to its historical roots in the same week.
