Leather abounds at Burberry
While scaling back on a reliance on leathergoods, Burberry’s spring-summer 26 collection leans on leather for its clothing, with leather coats, trousers and skirts featured in the show in London's Kensington.
Models walked around a festival-style tent, capturing the "creativity of modern-day artists” and atmosphere of a concert, while actress Joanna Lumley carried a checked leather bag from the recent collection.
For tops and skirts, leather was laser-cut to mimic lace, with edges trimmed with fringed leather.
Bags for the season are “softer and unstructured”. The Hampstead in leather is finished with zips. New shapes come with an Equestrian Knight closure, and Bridle bags feature an equestrian-inspired handle on slouchy totes.
New shoes include the Baez sandals, Tone – a new lace-up boot – and the equestrian-inspired Ledger boot.
