Burberry

“When the Burberry catwalk show finale began to a crack of thunder, and a simulated rainstorm sent water streaming down all sides of the vast transparent marquee while the audience watched from within, it was a fitting end to a show in which Burberry re-established an emotional warmth lacking in some recent seasons.” —Jess Cartner-Morley, The Guardian

“Christopher Bailey proved yet again there is no show in London quite like the Burberry Prorsum show. The dramatic finale was a reminder to all those watching that when it rains—which it always does in Britain—everyone should reach into their closet and pull out a Burberry coat.” —Maysa Rawi, The Daily Mail
