On Saturday evening, Christopher Bailey serenaded London Fashion Week with his swan song for Burberry after 17 years at the helm. His final message was one of unity, creating a rainbow version of the classic Burberry check in support of the LGBTQ+ community — a move the brand is following through on in a series of initiatives with trusts and organizations. “There has never been a more important time to say that in our diversity lies our strength and our creativity,” Bailey said.
The epic 85-look collection was perhaps Bailey’s most experimental and creative to date, incorporating all of the brand’s hits over the years, from trenches, windbreakers, and Harrington jackets to scarves, caps, and capes. The shapes and styles were decidedly more street with oversized bombers emblazoned with BURBERRY / LONDON / ENGLAND in graffiti font, and shell suits with caps were covered in the classic check. Bailey left no stone unturned with bold velour jumpers reading "Burberry of London" in rainbow letters and baggy, red tracksuit bottoms slouched over checked penny loafers.
