That’s a wrap on London Fashion Week, with Daniel Lee closing out the 5-day event with a buzz-worthy Burberry showcase. The British Central Saint Martins graduate has served as Burberry creative director since 2022 and served up his Spring 2026 collection on the final day of LFW. Staged in the Parks Fields of Kensington Palace, Lee erected a tent for the show space setting, inspired by the UK’s summer live music scene. In a nod to Burberry’s outdoor heritage, fringes, metallics, and bright plaids dominated a sand runway lined with a front row of A-list British icons (including Joanna Lumley, Jennifer Saunders, Twiggy, and Naomi Campbell).
Burberry Spring 2026 Collection Review
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Excellent collection. I think he has really started to master the commercial/creative aspect. All the festival without the bo-ho yuck often attached to it.” [TianCouture]
“I don’t hate this, but I also don’t know how it’s meant to land. It might’ve made more sense in 2008, but that second wave of “cool Britannia” is long over. What sort of fantasy is it asking people to buy into?” [fruitdots]
“I like it. I think Daniel Lee should have focused more on the glamorous afterparties they’ll have in their hotel rooms after festivals for the set, instead of literally in the sand. The styling shouldn’t have been that literal with the hippie vibes, as the clothes look too precious for it. Too bad they’ll ask haute couture prices for the outerwear.” [tourbillions]
“Thank god Lee is talented and managed to make something out of something that could quickly turn into a Hedi Slimane world. It’s almost too glamorous for a festival, sometimes it looked like Coach, but it had a creative intention similar to his fantastic Bottega Veneta Spring 2021 collection.” [Lola701]
“The soundtrack was so good that I could’ve kept watching the livestream just because of it. But I did also like this more rock and roll approach to Burberry and I loved his use of brighter colors.” [bluehells]
