Even Carly Marks, founder of avant-garde New York label Puppets and Puppets, chose London this season. But all eyes were on Burberry, undoubtedly the biggest brand on the London Fashion Week schedule, yet one that has been battling against sharply declining profits.

▼ + stars: | 2023-11-17 | by ( Mimosa Spencer | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +5 min

With fewer shoppers heading to Burberry stores, clinching a sale will be key. The label has filled its stores with new styles across a wider price range, including a renewed emphasis on its staple outerwear. At Burberry he has applied colourful dandelion prints to garments and rolled out advertising campaigns with fuzzy ducklings. "We like what Burberry is doing with product and range architecture, however, the timing is not ideal," said analysts at RBC. Burberry Chief Financial Officer Kate Ferry said the company was "absolutely committed to protecting all of the consumer-facing areas".

LONDON, May 18 (Reuters) - British luxury fashion brand Burberry (BRBY.L) reported stronger-than-expected fourth quarter sales on Thursday, boosted by a rebound in its largest market China following three years of COVID-19 restrictions. In the quarter to April 1, comparable store sales rose 16%, accelerating from 1% in the third quarter and above a company compiled consensus of 14%. Sales in Mainland China rose 13%. "We have delivered a strong financial performance, supported by good progress in our core leather goods and outerwear categories, with revenue accelerating in the fourth quarter as growth rebounded in Mainland China," chief executive Jonathan Akeroyd said in a statement on Thursday. The FTSE 100 (.FTSE) group's luxury rivals LVMH (LVMH.PA) and Hermes (HRMS.PA) have also reported a bounce in first quarter sales due to a recovery in China and wider Asian markets.

LONDON, Feb 17 (Reuters) - London Fashion Week kicked off on Friday, with organisers dedicating the five-day event to late designer Vivienne Westwood, who died in December. "She is the embodiment of our extraordinary industry," British Fashion Council (BFC) chair David Pemsel told London's Evening Standard newspaper.

Highlights this season include designer Daniel Lee's debut at Burberry, while a BFC initiative with Ukraine Fashion Week will see three Ukrainian designers presenting their creations. "Fashion needs to be continually evaluating what it's giving back," Natasha Bird, ELLE UK’s Executive Editor (Digital), told Reuters.

☆ Burberry 'positive' about China rebound as stores reopen

But she said there were positive signs of recovery as stores reopened in mainland China and the country's luxury shoppers started returning to Hong Kong and Macau. "In January, we've seen a change in traffic, we've seen some strong trade coming through," she told reporters on Wednesday. "The timing and pace of recovery is likely to be somewhat unpredictable, but we're very positive about the early signs and confident in the long-term opportunity (in China)." Chinese consumers accounted for about 25% of Burberry's revenue, down from 40% pre-pandemic, she said, with the vast majority of spending happening in mainland China rather than in tourist centres outside the country. Richemont (CFR.S), the Swiss luxury group that sells Cartier jewellery and watches, also said on Wednesday that it expected a strong rebound in China.
