“Think of them as weekend-escapees,” says Daniel Lee, of the pictures pinned to a moodboard “it’s that great night exodus from London,” he adds “long rainy walks in the great outdoors to disconnect and day-trips to grand stately homes.”
Part fabulous tale, part fact: for centuries London’s most weary have escaped the churn of the capital city to breathe the clean countryside air. And legions of Londoners spill out at faraway train stations consumed by what Lee calls “that slightly eccentric, somewhat bohemian need to travel – weekend luggage, included.” And it’s this very same weekend luggage, which Lee unpacked and unpicked as inspiration for the Burberry runway show at London’s Tate Britain.
