9 New Burberry Trench Coats That Are on the Brink of Fame

by Lauren Eggertsen

London Fashion Week always feels like such a blur. Editors and influencers hop across the pond moments after New York Fashion Week wraps to be greeted by rainy days, quaint British taxis, and four days of back-to-back shows. Closing out the week was none other than Burberry, taking place at London's beautifully arched Kensington Olympia. The spacious venue was accompanied by a platform mirrored runway where pianists Katia and Marielle Labèque sat, filling the space with calming melodies.

The F/W 20 Burberry collection was titled Memories in honor of Burberry Chief Creative Officer Riccardo Tisci's fond memories of London from his youth. "Moving back to London recently—a city I first discovered as a young student—gave me a real sense of nostalgia. It was the place where I learnt to be myself and a city where I gained the confidence to be the man that I am today. I have this strong feeling of pride when I think about the early days of my career, when I was an emerging designer still learning my craft and taking inspiration wherever I could find it," said Tisci via the show notes.

The front row was filled with notable celebrities such as Cate Blanchett, Jacob Elordi, FKA Twigs, and more, and the model casting matched the prestige, including Kendall, Gigi, and Bella. The collection was clearly an ode to Tisci's nostalgia toward both London and Burberry's past as a whole. We saw tons of the iconic house tartan, reimagined trench coats, and a few surprises toward the end featuring a slew of rugby shirts and even a few crystal-adorned frocks.

But back to those trenches. It wouldn't be a Burberry show without a runway flooded with the house's staple garment, and when it came to this collection, there was a lot to digest. Since the street style set tends to cling tightly to Tisci's Burberry, it's only a matter of time before we spot the following nine trench coats on some of the most stylish beings in the industry.
