Modern Evolution & Sustainability

While honoring its roots, Burberry has prioritized sustainability – banning fur in 2018 and committing to carbon neutrality by 2040. The 2023 "Night Creatures" campaign under creative director Daniel Lee reinterprets classic motifs with bold animal prints. Currently ranking among Interbrand's Top 100, the brand maintains relevance through collaborations (Supreme, Vivienne Westwood) and AR-powered shopping experiences.

"Burberry proves heritage and innovation aren't opposites – they're partners in crafting the future." – Vogue, 2023
