Burberry S/S 2024 London

[FashionFanatico]

The more Lee tries to manifest the next cool thing in every possible way, the more it leaves me cold. Nothing here ewokes a real desire in me to be a part of this new tribe.

After Milan and Paris it seems very likely that Burberry will end only as an afterthought of SS24.

after seeing the video.. i kind of miss tiscis burberry specially when he did evening wear at the beginning of the collections. The last 2-3 floral dresses in this collection are straight out of Tiscis givenchy.

I cannot imagine terminating a Couturier like Riccardo for a run of the mill person like Lee. Especially when Burberry is trying to be taken seriously as a fashion house. The audacity really….

Who is running Burberry - these people dont respect fashion. They went from trying to make it new Givenchy - to making it new Supreme. Its all over the place.

I find it to be lackluster, cold, and corporate. At Bottega Veneta he was surrounded by seasoned artisans and the best leather workshops in the world. Burberry is an obvious downgrade in terms of resources, and it shows in the work. It would be understandable if these clothes were priced lower, but they are still the higher end of luxury pricing. Now onto the clothes themselves, the drop waist coats with the big belts have been done before. I don't care for the leather. It looks thick and rough. The best was the sleeveless coat with the blue lining, but will a man actually wear that? Then he had the nerve to get self-referential with the prints. The claps and fastenings from his ugly overpriced bags as prints? Oh please. Another season, another gimmicky print. I appreciate the texture of the needlework floral dresses, but he could have taken it further. It's only been two seasons, but there is no sense of identity so far. Last season was youthful, and this season is more mature, even matronly in some places. Some tighter fits, less layering, and more skin could have made it more interesting. It will look decent on the rack, but where is the wow factor that will make people take a second look?

Lee’s first show was a disastrous attempt at Burberry. This second show he changed his mind completely and tried to do his own Bottega thing but it fell flat, and looks like a generic version of Coach for Michael Kors. Which are both horrors in their own right lol

The menswear is giving hype beast and am here for it. Love the ready to wear feel int he womenswear too. Some of the looks are out of place like the all black church deacon look and the shredded skirt but I do love the prints and pops of colour.

Kudos to whoever directed the live because that we didn't get to see that.

The low rise pants and skirts make this look cheap and low end. Its not giving the feeling of British Luxury. There is no romanticism or emotion in the clothes. The menswear is faaar better tho, there are some nice pieces there.

I really wanted to like this but I can't.
It's so all over the place, I found it overwhelming in a negative way.
I think Lee is a fabulous commercial merchandiser and a visual director in terms of the brand identity, campaigns etc. Some individual products on their own are great but the collection as a whole is rather disappointing in terms of design and execution. It seems he wants to tell too many stories at the same time, all condensed and blended together in a poorly styled collection.

Most of all, the luxury aspect is really absent here. Some items give a high street fashion vibe even. Apparently they plan to make a huge commercial success out of the shoes and the leather goods but given the competition in that market, I think he really needs to try harder there.

“I think we’ve moved on from the period in fashion where it was led by, say, a silhouette or an aesthetic or a stylistic sense of putting things together,”

I've been thinking about this quote from the BOF article.

Do you think it's true?
I don't.

I mean, low waisted trenches are a silhouette, a "language" of Britishness with the prints is an aesthetic, and there was definitely a stylistic sense of putting things together.
Obviously it's about objects of desire, not to say hypebeast objects; but how do you really create the desire and hype?

Having said that, I do appreciate the effort, and can see an aesthetic being formed.

I actually loved the tent venue, certainly from outside; it looked like a Burberry scarf draped over the park, also the drab green carpet inside, very British.

Can't wit to see the price on that tapestry gown.

I liked that collection simply because I like Lee's idea of fashion which, in my opinion, is compatible with Burberry. Tisci tenure, despite his talent, was an aesthetic disaster which then translated into sales. Lee's Burberry is commercial, pragmatic, energetic in some sense and I genuinely like how he approached SS. There are many pieces I wanna buy which I didn't think before: beautifully tailored suits (which you can tailored in Burberry's store almost to the bespoke level), loafers and bags. He is offering basis to then be challenged with "personal style" of the wearer. I like to show, music and set and I'm sure he will polish his style in due course.

Leather I suppose, so lambs, kids and calves.

 

[Constructionist]

The designs aren't great neither are they terrible but the footwear is atrocious!

He could have had the models walk in barefoot and it would be a better show.

 

[Not Plain Jane]

the dresses stand out
i like the asymmetry too

Why do you even care about what BOF have to say? They are a bunch of frustrated queens who have the most conservative outlook on fashion. Sheep have more taste than those banalities like Tiom Blanks or Imrad
