At London Fashion Week, designers refocus on good clothes

Daniel Lee’s Burberry debut swept through London Fashion Week like a breath of fresh air. The city is in need of a pick-me-up in the aftermath of Brexit, Covid and Liz Truss’s disastrous “mini” Budget — not to mention the ongoing public-sector strikes over pay.

Editors and buyers who usually skip London and head straight to Fashion Week in Milan appeared south of the Thames on Monday night, in London’s Kennington Park, to see whether Lee could restore the magic at Britain’s biggest and best-known luxury goods brand — and help the company achieve its goal of increasing revenues from £2.8bn to £4bn within five years.

It might not have been magic, exactly, but Lee did succeed in making Burberry worth watching again. He has been tasked by chief executive Jonathan Akeroyd, who joined Burberry from Versace last year, with emphasising Burberry’s “Britishness” as it seeks to recapture market share from European rivals such as Gucci, Prada and Moncler.

Lee did it not with the Mayfair-meets-Bloomsbury Englishness of former designer Christopher Bailey, who sat front row, but with enormous faux furs, clashing Burberry plaids and frayed kilts-over-trousers that evoked the look and spirit of early Vivienne Westwood and ’90s grunge. The decision to pitch a tent in Kennington, an area once known for its squatters, instead of returning to Bailey’s grand, orangery-style showspace in Hyde Park, spoke volumes.

Chrissy Teigen Shares Her 5-Step Post-Baby Skincare Routine

Next, she layers on a gentle retinol serum

Shani Darden Retinol Reform Serum

With a formula that involves encapsulated retinol (for slower release), lactic acid (for brightening effects), and fruit extract to counteract sun damage, the brand’s creator, Shani Darden, claims it gives users the same benefits of retinol without any irritation or flakiness.

The product instructions warn not to use it if you’re pregnant or nursing, which is common for retinol products. 

Though Teigen incorporates this in her morning routine, this product is advertised for nighttime use.

“I do not recommend retinoid application during the day,” said Lee. “The stability of retinoids is compromised by heat and light, so daytime application can result in reduced effectiveness.” She suggested splitting up the first two steps in Teigen’s routine — using the vitamin C serum in the morning and retinoid at night for maximum effectiveness.

Like most retinol products, if you start using this, you should begin by alternating days you apply it to help your skin slowly adjust. This helps skin “build tolerance and prevent over-drying,” Dr. Annie Chiu, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of The Derm Institute, previously told Insider.

Lee also noted that retinol can make skin more sensitive to the sun, so pairing it with sunscreen is crucial if you do decide to wear retinol during the day.
