With a heritage that dates back to 1856, it is perhaps not surprising that luxury brand Burberry has become a byword for British design and quality craftsmanship. With Christopher Bailey now at the helm, this shows no signs of slowing either and its catwalk show is one of the hottest tickets at London Fashion Week. Its not only about the brand's iconic outerwear any more either, Bailey applies original founder Thomas Burberry's marriage of function and fashion to apparel, accessories and diffusion lines - and the result is a range of have-to-have-it dresses, separates, statement necklaces and bags.
