Burberry’s Big Swing Will Surprise You

Burberry is bringing the Swinging Sixties back, baby. For Spring/Summer 2026, Daniel Lee returned to Perk Field in Kensington Gardens, staging a collection that built on the house’s renewed dedication to music and fashion’s long love affair with musicians. Just look at the FROW: Raye, Olivia Dean, Central Cee, Skepta, Alexa Chung, Elton John and Twiggy all took pride of place. The festival intent was clear to see from that alone.

Then there was the tent venue itself. Painted with blue skies above and scattered with red sand below, Black Sabbath blared from the speakers (nearly deafening Absolutely Fabulous icons Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders who were sat right next to speakers, and loved by Jonathan Bailey who was bopping along throughout). Against this bright backdrop, Lee unveiled a surreptitiously bold collection.
