BURBERRY'S RESCHEDULED SS23 SHOW WAS A SOMBRE AFFAIR - Prism Hype

BURBERRY'S RESCHEDULED SS23 SHOW WAS A SOMBRE AFFAIR

Whether this was his final bow or not, the runway show itself – which was originally set to take place on September 17, but rescheduled “as a mark of respect” following the death of Queen Elizabeth II – was eerie, and laden with a number of sudden moments of silence, where only the heels of walking models could be heard.

Whether this was a moment for the Queen or a more general time for reflection following a solemn few weeks across London wasn't made clear, although it certainly helped to enhance the show's sombre undertone, to say the least.

The setting undoubtedly played a part in the mood, too. Taking place in a south London industrial warehouse, the little-to-no set design was made up of rows upon rows of chairs which paved the runway, as guests sat side-by-side within touching distance of the models.

Bella Hadid and Naomi Campbell were just two of the household names to catch the eye on the runway, as Kanye West made a surprise appearance off it.

 

The collection itself felt slightly irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, but was much the same of what we've come to expect from Tisci's Burberry: classic outerwear meets intricate detailing, with accessories also garnering attention.
