Burberry is one of the world’s most iconic luxury fashion houses, known for its British heritage, outerwear legacy—most notably the trench coat—and a roster of celebrated creative directors. With an annual turnover of approximately £2.46 billion, it remains a global leader in luxury apparel.
Johnny Diamandis led the outerwear design team, reporting directly to renowned creative director Christopher Bailey. His time at Burberry was an exceptional design education, focused on outerwear development and construction—particularly the trench coat—while also contributing to categories such as denim and jersey.
