Burberry Fall 2026 Collection
For Fall 2026, Burberry returned to its most enduring icon and rebuilt it for a rain-soaked modern London. Under the direction of Daniel Lee, the trench coat became less a heritage staple and more a cinematic protagonist.
Staged at Old Billingsgate, the show unfolded beneath a replica of Tower Bridge, complete with glistening lights and inky “puddles” lining the runway. The set mirrored the city in winter—wet pavement, metallic skies, and the quiet drama of enduring the elements in style.
Lee focused on expanding the trench’s vocabulary. Once a military essential, it was reimagined with exaggerated ruffled collars, glossy fringe tracing the hem like falling rain, and supple faux-fur finishes. Knit versions came elongated and belted, some trimmed with leather epaulettes; others arrived in bouclé, woven checks, or topped with plush collars. One standout featured a vintage map of London woven directly into the fabric—an archival discovery transformed into a wearable tribute to the city.
Beyond the trench, Lee proposed a wardrobe built for urban resilience: butter-soft leather kilts, bomber jackets paired with streamlined track pants, and sharply tailored cloth coats edged with leather lapels or high military collars. The silhouettes were pragmatic but never plain—precise, protective, and unmistakably British.
The front row echoed the message. Skepta, Kate Moss, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Stray Kids were among those wrapped in variations of the house’s signature outerwear, reinforcing its relevance across generations and genres.
