by admin on Nov.18, 2010, under Clothes
Burberry is a famous English fashion brand which is a symbol of British fashion culture. Thomas Burberry, at the age of 21, founded the fashion house. After 100, this brand has grown to be a sign of England style. At first, Burberry only provided outdoors clothes and troops uniform. In 1880, Thomas invented a waterproof and breathable fabric “Gabardine”, which accepted its patent in 1888.
The trench coat designed by Burberry maintained its fame and popularity from its birth in 1890 to nowadays. After the First World War, trench coats became the favorites of many Hollywood celebrities and stars, including Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart. The widely known trademark of Knight was created in 1901.
Another classic fashion creation was the famous Burberry check “Nova” created in 1924. Beige, red black and white checks also became the classic representative pattern, which first appeared in the lining of Burberry trench coat. After 1967 when Burberry registered its trademark, this pattern was widely used in some other products like umbrella and luggage.
Burberry was deeply loved by the royal family, even becoming the brand used by royal members in 1955 and 1989. Until 1997 when the management changed, the direction of Burberry began to expand its market from the original royal family and old famous people to more various customers from different classes.
In 2001, Burberry added new pattern of classic check, black and red. At the same time, the shoots of super model Kate Moss and Stella Tennant wearing bikini of Burberry Check also pulled the brand from hard times to new prosperity. In 2003, a new collection named after its founder Thomas Burberry, tended to appeal to the young, which brought this brand to a younger orientation.
Burberry not only inherits the essence of this brand’s tradition but also creates its own fashion style with the changes of times so that it can always keep its status in fashion world and continue to create something unique and gorgeous.
