Burial was London Fashion Week's unlikely star

The highly-anticipated debut of Burberry’s new creative director Daniel Lee went down as one of the highlights of the recent London Fashion Week - and elusive producer Burial was his secret weapon. 

Lee has been known for reviving Bottega Veneta and has already brought a lot of attention on Burberry in his short tenure so far, reviving the old Burberry Equestrian Knight logo from 1909, as well as working with the likes of Skepta, Shygirl and John Glacier on a recent campaign. 

The Burberry Autumn/Winter 2023 show played five Burial tracks in total, submerging the catwalk in the moody electronics of ‘Truant’, ‘Young Death’, ‘Exokind’, ‘Shell Of Light’ and ‘Homeless’.

Fittingly, the event took place in Lambeth, one of the catchment zones Burial may have drawn inspiration from when crafting his 2005 EP 'South London Boroughs'. 

Some artists present at the show included Benji B (who put together the soundtrack for Burberry), Skepta, Stormzy, Vegyn, Damon Albarn, Jamie xx and Honey Dijon, to name a few.

Last month, legendary dubstep producer El-B dropped a surprise collaborative track with Burial which has been archived since 2009.
