History of Fashion Week

Fashion Week, a phenomenon that has captured the hearts of fashion enthusiasts worldwide, traces its origins back to the early 20th century. Born out of the necessity for designers to showcase their creations to buyers and the press, Fashion Week began as a modest gathering of industry insiders in Paris1. Over time, it evolved into a global extravaganza, with cities like New York, Milan, and London joining the ranks of fashion capitals.

The history of Fashion Week is deeply rooted in the evolution of the fashion industry and the desire for designers to present their creations in a structured and impactful manner. However, as the industry grew and fashion became more globalized, there was a need for a more organized and centralized platforms for showcasing new collections.

The modern iteration of Fashion Week can be attributed to the vision of pioneering fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert2. In 1943, Lambert organized "Press Week" in New York City, bringing together American designers to showcase their collections to journalists and buyers. This event laid the groundwork for what would later become New York Fashion Week.

Overall, Fashion Week is a celebration of creativity, innovation, and the artistry of fashion. It continues to evolve and adapt to the changing landscape of the industry, but its core purpose remains the same: to showcase the best and brightest talents in fashion and to inspire and captivate audiences around the world!

The brand's foundation lies in protecting people from the British weather, with the invention of gabardine fabric that led to the creation of the iconic Burberry trench coat3. With a rich history rooted in innovation to fashion, Burberry continues to push boundaries and set trends in the luxury fashion industry.
