London Fashion Week saw Burberry unveil its latest collection of luxurious outerwear inspired by the city's rainy weather. The British fashion house, known for its iconic trench coat and heritage military influences, presented a show that paid homage to its roots.

The runway featured models clad in double-breasted coats, oversized duffels, and fur-lined bombers, all designed to withstand the inclement British weather. The signature Burberry check print made appearances on scarves, coats, and even collapsible umbrellas.

Founded by Thomas Burberry in the late 1800s, the brand has a rich history of creating innovative rainwear. The trench coat, a staple since World War I, combines functionality with style, featuring storm shields, epaulettes, and gun flaps.
