BURBERRY HIGHLIGHTS LONDON FASHION WEEK

A new look at Burberry, who presented their september 2017 collection for men and women at the Old Sessions House in Clerkenwell last night- the brand’s new show venue. The stunning architecture of the magnificent old courthouse opened its doors for the first time for the show since its restoration. Guests were seated in a variety of garden furniture and bus shelter benches throughout the space, with walls left bare to show the history of the almost 250-year old building.

Coming out to view it all, Cara Delevingne, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss with Edward Enninful, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Jourdan Dunn, Stormzy, Maya Jama, Hayett McCarthy, Koharu Sugawara, Glenda Jackson.

Artists including HOONY and MINO,  Kris Wu, Zhao Dongyu, Olivia Cooke, Raffey Cassidy, Bel Powley, Jüergen Teller, Blondey McCoy, Kurumi Emond, Wendy Yu, Serenay Sarikaya, and Tom Emmerson were amongst the so many spotted.

A “clash of textures, colors and silhouettes” was the theme presented, with British knits over lace gowns, tartan and plastic, jackets reworked into skirts, and socks with everything. Some winter sorbet shades of pink, green and blue mingled with black, camel, red and navy in a mashup Tartan and Vintage checked wools, and Fair Isle and Argyle knits, Plastic, and Faux fur.

Models on the catwalk flaunting the now collection to a soundtrack to the Pet Shop Boys included included Adwoa Aboah, Elfie Reigate, Hebe Flury, Dilone, Kiki Willems, Jean Campbell, Olympia Campbell, Toni Bagley, Jonas Gloer, Montell Martin, Xavier Hickman, Kaia Gerber, and Presley Gerber.
