Burberry has announced it will close London Fashion Week next Tuesday, with a show at the Rootstein Hopkins Parade Ground at Chelsea.

Creative director Christopher Bailey said:

“Both our show and party are taking place in Westminster – it is such an iconic, great part of London with the Thames, the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben and is also where we shot our last ad campaign,” Bailey said. “We are doing the show at the Chelsea College of Art and Design where we’ve designed this incredible space within the parade ground, which is within walking distance of Horseferry House, our global headquarters, where we are going to have the party that closes London Fashion Week.”

British model Agyness Dean and new MTV girl Alexa Chung will be DJing at the after-show event, set to be the biggest draw on the Fashion Week party calendar.

Bailey added: “It’s going to be a celebration of British fashion, British creativity and of Burberry being back home in London and we are all so excited about it.”

The refurbishment of the Parade Ground was funded by a £1.5 million gift to University of the Arts London from the Rootstein Hopkins Foundation which was founded in 1990. For more than two decades, the Foundation has been a visionary supporter of arts education and practice.”
