The label presented hippie-inspired crochet dresses, fringed jackets and tailored suits in acid green, yellow and pink, drawing on counterculture fashions from the British music scene for its Spring/Summer 2026 collection.

A Black Sabbath soundtrack lent a rock ’n’ roll edge to the catwalk in the huge tent at Kensington Palace Gardens. The models’ boots and sandals crunched on a brown sand floor, evoking the muddy conditions of music festivals — a theme Burberry has revisited throughout the summer.

Dubai-based Wazen, who is the founder of eyewear label By Karen Wazen, arrived in a beige trench coat with a belted waist and double-breasted detailing, styled with knee-high black boots. She completed the look with long black leather gloves, a sleek black shoulder bag and sunglasses from her own brand.
