Student Clara Gröning wins Burberry x LCF student competition
Burberry has revealed the results of a new student competition that reinforces its 'focus on circularity through design'. It has partnered with the Centre for Sustainable Fashion (CSF), based at the London College of Fashion (LCF) on 'Reimagining Materials'.
Inspired by its history of product craftsmanship, it saw fashion students working with members of Burberry's creative and commercial teams to explore the theme of circularity.
'The competition provided students from LCF with an opportunity to showcase their creativity through a series of review sessions, while learning from Burberry's product experts,' the company said.
Over a couple of months, 20 shortlisted students were challenged with a brief to present 'new and exciting ways of reinventing surplus materials, including Burberry's trench gabardine, Burberry Check lining fabric, leather and a selection of trims, into original products'.
There were portfolio and prototype review sessions and an educational workshop on the brand's heritage and house codes, with the students' designs then being were judged by a panel of representatives from the luxury giant's Product, Digital and Merchandising teams, and members of CSF's Knowledge Exchange team.
The winning design belongs to Clara Gröning, BA (Hons) Fashion Design and Development student at LCF. As well as receiving a cash prize, Gröning will join Burberry for an internship this autumn.
Supported by Burberry's Early Careers team, the 'Reimagining Materials' programme builds on a range of initiatives that it offers to help 'talented young people and recent graduates gain first-hand experience alongside industry professionals', including its recent collaboration with the National Saturday Club and partnership with The BRIT School.

Burberry takes over The Standard Ibiza's rooftop for the summer
Burberry is the latest luxury brand to link up with a summer resort and is collaborating with The Standard, Ibiza, for a 'joyful takeover of the hotel's seasonal rooftop bar and restaurant, UP'. The company said the takeover blends 'style, escapism, and an unmistakable British attitude'. Specially created for the link-up, a bespoke Burberry Check blends the check with The Standard's signature yellow. The custom design takes over UP with loungers, parasols, and branded seating – and can also be seen on Check Mate, 'a Burberry boat making waves along the Ibiza shoreline'. The company also said that 'framed by sunset views, the rooftop comes alive with weekly Burberry-curated cocktail evenings, soundtracked by guest DJs spinning from a custom-built booth. Poolside, the vibe sets the scene for golden-hour lounging. Inside, a branded photo booth in the lobby invites guests to capture their summer in style'. And of course, there's a product element as the location showcases a curated edit of Burberry summer staples available to buy – 'from light layers and sun-ready separates to poolside essentials in seasonal Burberry Check'. There's swimwear, sunglasses, and hats. Seasonal resort takeovers have become increasingly popular un recent years, whether for beach locations or ski resorts, as luxury brands put their branding and curated product offers in front of the kinds of shoppers they want to attract just at the point when they might be in a free-spending frame of mind.
