Past Event

Burberry is more than a fashion label - it is an emblem of Britishness recognised the world over, through creations that span over 160 years of innovation and invention. Join fashion journalist Alexander Fury, author of the first ever monograph examining the history of this British heritage brand, to survey a selection of signature pieces and key moments in the evolution of Burberry’s contemporary identity.

From polar expeditions to London catwalks, pop culture moments and the eternal trench-coat, this discussion unpacks the meaning of Burberry past, present and future, accompanied by a range of unique and exclusive images featured in the book Burberry, published by Assouline.
