To Highbury Fields, then, for the crescendo of Burberry’s flurry of fashion week activity. The brand has been painting the town blue heralding the arrival of creative director Daniel Lee’s first collection in store and building anticipation for his sophomore effort.
Lee’s Burberry is embracing a new sort of style democracy, so Tufnell Parks’ favourite caff, Norman’s had a Burbs makeover (and visit from Mary Berry); Bond Street station became Burberry street, streets were bedecked with its equestrian knight flags, as well as gorilla stencilling across the capital’s pavements. The juxtaposition continued at the showground where bemused dog walkers and school kids looked on as Rachel Weisz, Kylie Minogue, Damon Albarn, Skepta, Bukayo Saka, Mo Farah, Neneh Cherry, Jodie Comer and Top Boys Michael Ward, Kano and Barry Keoghan strode into the venue.
