From Functional to Fashionable

Burberry’s early success came from its ability to merge practicality with elegance. The durable yet lightweight trench coat quickly transitioned from military uniform to civilian staple, famously worn by screen legends like Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. By the mid-20th century, the brand’s signature check pattern—introduced as a lining in the 1920s—became a global status symbol, appearing on everything from scarves to luggage.

However, late 20th-century overexposure led to a dilution of the brand's prestige. In the 2000s, under the creative direction of Christopher Bailey, Burberry staged a remarkable comeback by redefining British modernity. Bailey digitized the brand, livestreaming runway shows and leveraging social media, making Burberry a pioneer in fashion tech integration.
