Innovation Meets Heritage
Burberry's iconic Trench Coat, designed for British officers during World War I, remains a cornerstone of its collections. Featuring durable gabardine, epaulets, and the brand's signature check lining, the coat symbolizes both functionality and sophistication. Over the decades, Burberry evolved from military gear to high fashion, adorning celebrities and royalty alike.
In the 21st century, under creative directors like Christopher Bailey and Riccardo Tisci, Burberry embraced digital innovation. It was among the first luxury brands to livestream runway shows and integrate augmented reality in shopping experiences. These moves solidified its reputation as a pioneer in merging tradition with modernity.
