Case Study: Burberry SS25

‘Usually the National Theatre is the destination for theatre lovers, but for one afternoon only, fashion took over, courtesy of Burberry.’ – Elle

It was the Brutalist setting in the heart of a London cultural institution that enticed Burberry to host their SS25 London fashion in our front of house spaces.  The hire would bring in 300 members of production and crew, 50 models and 600 invited guests, plus a live stream of the event which received 6.9 million views worldwide.

Burberry chose to host the show in the ground floor foyer in the main atrium and near the Lyttelton Theatre, with hair, make-up, atelier, green rooms, dressing rooms and production spaces on the upper floors of the front of house areas. The scale of this meant a full building closure to the public on the day of the fashion show itself.
