Burberry presents Celia Birtwell collection at London fashion week
Burberry showcased a special collection designed with textile artist Celia Birtwell during the closing show of London fashion week.
Designer collaboration details
Daniel Lee selected Birtwell because he admired her energy and zest for life. The designer hand-painted a less regimented version of Burberry's graphic check to make it feel more human. A doodle of round faces from Birtwell's archive also became a print for the season.
Show atmosphere and guests
The event took place at the Chelsea School of Art near Burberry headquarters. Fiona Shaw and Djed Spence sat on the front row while Central Cee made a cameo on the catwalk. The mood remained buoyant with charming prints and soft silhouettes throughout the presentation.
Brand recovery context
This collection marks a period where Burberry is bouncing back from its recent crisis years. CEO Joshua Schulman and designer Daniel Lee have steered the company during this time. The show closed the London fashion week schedule with an eclectic guest list.
