I liked it but it would be understatement to say it was undercooked. Some of the menswear trenches or jackets were up to my taste and I’d definitely would like to buy them but only in outlet as the pricing point will, again, be insane. Womenswear quite uneventful, not so many bags or accessories which is weird giving their focus on leather goods. Feels like Daniel is already looking for another job…
It's not MGC's Dior, so go ahead.Can I say some of this looks good without anyone getting mad at me
Slightly off topic, but does anyone know what the pricing was like for 00s/early 10s Prorsum? And Tisci's Burberry?
Late-2000 Prorsum pricing was more than a bargain by today’s ridiculously inflated pricing standards. I specifically remember paying under $3000 for the trenches and coats; less than $1000 for boots; $500 for shirts…
Oh! I thought he was merely hiding in shame for what he had just shown.The way Lee comes out at the end, intentionally pulling his turtleneck up, trying so hard to be like Mum Phoebe
Not at all. You’re probably referring to the pieces that look like 00s Marc Jacobs with a pinch of Balenciaga by NG thrown in.Can I say some of this looks good without anyone getting mad at me

BTW, the closing jewel on Wen is just simply, supremely, straightup gorgeous. Too little, too late tho.
That's more reasonable than I thought and they could definitely do well with this pricing range today. It's more elevated than Coach and US luxury, while being more competitive than the likes of Gucci and LV. Learning that the core of the price hike actually happened during Tisci's tenure made me start to wonder whether Lee was the actual problem. I dug up their Annual Report Archive and it gave me this:my fav example of Burberry’s pricing insanity is trench coat: Prorsum (1500£), Tisci (1700-2300£) and Lee (2500£ +)
another example are shirts: (300-500ÂŁ), Tisci (printed silk 1200ÂŁ+), Lee (1500ÂŁ and up).
Trousers from Lee’s collection are around 2500-2700 £, womenswear bags starting from $ 2500 up. We can go on and on. Biggest spike was from Prorsum to Tisci (largely due to Gobetti’s greed and delulu), less between Tisci and Lee (price adjustments up by 300-500 £ on average across all the products lines.

- revenue rose consistently until 2013 (Ahrendts' departure)
- rose at a slower pace until 2017 (Gobbetti's arrival)
- started falling during Tisci-Gobbetti era until the pandemic
- rose again in post-pandemic to the point that Tisci's last two years were the brand's record highest
