Introducing Chief Creative Officer Daniel Lee on Burberry and the Brits Who Inspire Him from The Run-Through with Vogue.

Follow the show: The Run-Through with Vogue

We wanted to bring you a special episode featuring a live conversation Chioma Nnadi had with Daniel Lee, the Chief Creative Officer of Burberry. The interview was a part of Vogue’s Lightroom exhibit in London, which explores the history of fashion and design on the runway. 

We could not imagine a better place to talk with Daniel, being that Burberry is the ultimate British brand and we were steps away from his alma mater, Central Saint Martins. Daniel took the helm as Chief Creative Officer at Burberry in 2022, and has been wowing us ever since with his ability to embrace legacy as well as innovation for the brand. 

This conversation was recorded just ahead of his Winter 2025 Ready-to-Wear Show.
