Burberry closes London Fashion Week 2026 with signature check print and celeb-filled front row

Burberry closed London Fashion Week on Monday evening, with the British fashion house's chief designer Daniel Lee pairing their signature check print with clashing florals and soft leather.

The show was put together with the help of textile designer Celia Birtwell, who hand-painted some of the runway designs, including check print trenches and smiley-face emblazoned jumpers.

Burberry, which this summer reported a growth in revenue for the first time in three years, often attracts some of the biggest names in British culture to its shows, rivalling fashion weeks in New York and Paris.

Monday night was no exception, with Central Cee making an appearance on the catwalk as Romeo Beckham, Skepta, Jonathan Bailey and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looked on from the front row.

The latest fashion week has been about return and renewal - as two of Britain's biggest designers showcased their spring/summer 2027 designs.

The first was Alexander McQueen, which as a brand moved to London after 25 years of showing in Paris - something Laura Weir, CEO of the British Fashion Council, told the BBC was "quite a big deal for us".

Creative director Seán McGirr brought the brand back to its roots, with a runway of devil horns, lace corsets and chainmail skull dresses.
