A little over a week ago on February 17th, Christopher Bailey took his final bow on the runway as he bids farewell to a 17-year long relationship with Burberry. Taking back control of a brand that had lost its exclusivity to cheap knock-offs and countryside chavs, Bailey revived it into the multibillion-dollar business boasting British luxury. 

My final collection here at Burberry is dedicated to – and in support of – some of the best and brightest organisations supporting LGBTQ+ youth around the world. There has never been a more important time to say that in our diversity lies our strength, and our creativity. -Christopher Bailey 

His final collection brought back the iconic Burberry plaid in the form of trench coats and bucket hats, with a new rainbow twist dedicated to the LGBTQ+ communities. In celebration, a capsule collection is now available at Dover Street Market until March 3, alongside an installation of classic pieces from the 80s and 90s.
