The scene before the biggest show ofwas quintessentially British: an orderly queue for tea, coffee and eccles cake. Britishness, along with trenchcoats and checked scarves, is what Burberry stands for. This is surely the only catwalk show where Hollywood action hero Jason Statham, acclaimed choreographer Wayne MacGregor and Arsenal striker Bukayo Saka can be found rubbing shoulders in the front row.
Lee, who scored a cult fashion hit with cushion-soft handbags while designing the Bottega Veneta label in Milan, reprised the theme for Burberry with squishy, huggable bags that slotted under the arm. The focus on leather goods will please Burberry’s accountants, but it did not please the Peta protester who managed a brief appearance on the runway holding a banner that read: “Animals are not clothing.
The critics who once sneered at Christopher Bailey’s nostalgic, romantic Burberry for being a Sunday-night-drama version of Britishness were this season equally cross with Lee, accusing him of appropriating working-class culture by staging a Burberry pop-up at Normans, a traditional London caff.Photograph: Gareth Cattermole/BFC/Getty Images
