CELEBRITIES from the world of fashion, film and music came out in force yesterday to pay tribute to Burberry's outgoing creative director Christopher Bailey at his London Fashion Week show.
Guests included veteran model Kate Moss, actor Idris Elba, musician Liam Gallagher and British stylist Edward Enninful who attended Burberry's Autumn/Winter 2018 show at the Dimco Buildings in west London. The show, which saw model Cara Delevingne among those on the catwalk, championed LGBTQ+ communities and was designer Bailey's last for the iconic label.
Bailey, who joined Burberry 17 years ago, was credited with helping transform the historic label from a small UK company into a global fashion brand. He has been chief creative designer since 2009.
The reputation of Burberry's distinct beige-check – which became synonymous with "football terrace chic" – has recently experienced a revival with celebrities, including Moss, Rita Orta and Stormzy, along with the fashion press.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
