BURBERRY RIFFS ON MUSIC FESTIVAL FASHION FOR CROCHET-HEAVY SUMMER COLLECTION

A Black Sabbath soundtrack gave a rock'n'roll edge to the catwalk in a huge tent in London’s Kensington Palace Gardens, with models’ boots and sandals crunching on a brown sand floor — evoking the mud of music festivals, a theme Burberry has riffed on this summer.

The show, closing London Fashion Week, was the sixth collection by creative director Daniel Lee and the third since Joshua Schulman became CEO and overhauled the British brand's strategy to bring sales back to growth.
