Daniel Lee Takes the Helm at Burberry, Signaling a New Era in Fashion
Daniel Lee, the acclaimed British designer best known for revitalizing Bottega Veneta, has been officially announced as the new Chief Creative Officer of Burberry, succeeding Riccardo Tisci after his four‑year tenure. Lee’s appointment marks a major milestone for the iconic British luxury house, as Burberry prepares to evolve its creative vision and strengthen its position in the global fashion landscape.

Lee, born and raised in Bradford and trained at Central Saint Martins, brings a blend of heritage respect and modern flair to Burberry’s collections. His rise in fashion — from ready‑to‑wear design roles at Celine and influential positions at Balenciaga and Maison Margiela — makes his role at Burberry especially noteworthy for industry watchers and models alike.

For model agencies and creative teams across the world, Lee’s vision offers fresh inspiration. His debut runway collection for Burberry, set to debut at London Fashion Week, will not only showcase his design direction but also provide new opportunities for models and modeling talent to bring his creations to life on the catwalk.

Burberry’s legacy of iconic trench coats, signature patterns, and elevated British style now enters a new chapter under Lee’s guidance. Big‑name models and rising stars from top model agencies will undoubtedly play central roles in interpreting his runway looks and brand campaigns — reinforcing the ongoing dialogue between fashion design and the world of modeling that helps shape trends on and off the runway.

As fashion continues to evolve, the collaboration between designers, model agencies, and the models themselves remains at the heart of storytelling in fashion. With Lee at the creative forefront, Burberry’s future shows and campaigns are poised to exemplify that synergy, blending tradition and innovation in every collection.
