The Burberry Trench | Hello Fashion | Kate Young
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Whether you’re in fashion or not, you know what a trench coat is. In this episode, I introduce you to the trench’s original architect-the British luxury fashion house Burberry-and walk you through its many intricacies.
I begin with the inception of the brand, which was rooted in a very practical, universal problem: rain. For most of the 19th century, rainwear was heavy, bulky, and difficult to move in. In 1879, however, Thomas Burberry invented a new lightweight, breathable, weatherproof, and tear-proof fabric called gabardine. The fabric gained widespread acclaim, and during World War I, Burberry used it to design the very first trench coat. Over time, Burberry outerwear became known and loved by people all over the world, and it soon made its way to becoming one of the world’s top luxury fashion brands.
Today, Burberry is worn by the world’s top celebrities, including Billie Eilish, Selena Gomez, and F.K.A. Twigs. But to me, the brand will always be fundamentally democratic in its aesthetic. It works on everyone: babies, kids, old people, young people, people in other countries all over the world… even dogs. It doesn’t really matter how old you are, or where you’re from, you like it. And I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

Hi Kate! Burberry fashion stylist and client advisor here. The history of Burberry is so rich and deeply rooted in our brand.. it's so amazing and inspiring. Thanks for giving a little snapshot into the history of this amazing brand and what makes our iconic trench coats so perfect to integrate into every wardrobe. And here's a little fun fact for you if you don't know- the equestrian knight was actually designed for Thomas Burberry when he ran a contest for a new logo and that was the winner!
I love Burberry ! Classic , practical and chic! But I didn't like the new logo !! The original logo is so special , unique and so recognizable! 😍
I actually never knew the exact history of Burberry but how amazing is the story! Just makes me want a trench even more now! And I think that's the thing, it's almost like if you own a Burberry trench, you own a bit of history too and I love that element 💛 thanks for sharing x

I so enjoy your videos on the classic pieces. You know your stuff and I look forward to each episode. That vintage Burberry trench would go great with a original Cartier tank watch!
This does take me back. I remember reading in a fashion mag during my teens that you needed three timeless things in your wardrobe. Burberry trench, YSL Smoking & diamond studs.
I get so excited when I see you've uploaded a new episode xxx
I have an old Trench with the removable thick wool lining. They thought of everything back then. It looks as good today as it did 40 years ago.
You deserve a show your work is thoroughly researched I'm not sure if it's more rich than your charm
I absolutely adore your channel! I learn so much every time. I hope to one day have a career in the fashion industry, and you inspire me so much!
Thank you Kate for always providing real information about products and brands. All your videos are understandable and accessible. It's beyond fashion "stuff" you are a educator. Perfect!
Love these videos!!!
Hey Kate! As usual your vlogs are very informative! 👍🏾
Absolutely adore your channel Kate, it’s educational, so aspiring, so insightful. Thank you so much for this wonderful and magnificent content. ❤️
Great episode Kate! You look so lovely in your Burberry ensemble too!
i love the history behind fashion brands like this😍 keep them up! Reliving ancient fashion feels rejuvenating. It’s imperative to know and helps absorbs perspicacity. Also‚ it’s great you delved the intricate pieces.

Thank you for another fascinating look at the history of an iconic designer. I appreciate hearing how challenging it is to sew the collar on these coats. It makes me feel a little better about all times I've had to rip out and resew the collars on jackets and shirts I've made for myself, although they are simpler designs.

I was just thinking about buying a new trench coat today, now that is getting colder. Love this episode!!💜 maybe you can also make a video about street style.
I love gabardine, they make me so elegant and practical, and it amazes me to see how from being that a necessity has happened throughout history for different uses to being an important part of fashion 👚🤩😁

Thank you. I am loyal to Burberry (trenches, quilted jackets even puffers and clothing), however, not a fan of the rebrand "TB." Now that I know the history of Thomas Burberry, I am proud to support the brand even as it strays and evolves.
All your videos are so interesting! Thank you for this video! 🙏❤️❤️❤️ I love Burberry. I wasn’t able to find my size, as I am very petite, I can buy clothes in kids section, lol. But I noticed that male Burberry sweaters look very cute on me, ha-ha! Like oversized sweater dresses 🥰🥰🥰
I always look forward to your videos
Excellent presentation, AS ALWAYS!! Much love and continued success!!!
Kate , i truly applaud you for making these videos !! Can"t wait to see more ! hope to feature maybe Chanel or Tom Ford for Gucci soon and can you do a styling tutorial on men please. i would love to see. Thank you so much and keep safe
Thank you. Video is wonderful, deconstructed and denim pieces are🤯 (Love Kate's sweater❤)

I bought my first Burberry trench 6 years ago and it's one of the best fashion investments I've made! I wear it with everything. And when it's cold outside it keeps you warm and when its hot outside it keeps you cool.
Wished this episode was longer. I wanna learn more. Thanks for this!

I have two! One is vintage and one is new (one cream coloured and one green). I'm a size 12 and 5'7. They're so flattering and chic! I see Audrey Hepburn and Sienna Miller in these coats and I feel amazing wearing them. Another fantastic episode! Thanks Kate Young, you're the coolest :)

What size is your cardigan? I'm about to purchase it online. I love the fit that you have on 😍
Would love to see Kate discuss The Row as a modern established American luxury brand and how it encapsulates this IYKYK vibe, subtle luxury which I think Kate’s vibe.
this videos are chic and educative, Jdore

I am doing my Masters program in Global History and I love learning about Fashion history! My mother-in-law actually gifted me a Burberry trenchcoat she got from one of her girlfriends in the 70ies and as someone who loves to wear vintage style, but doesn´t have enough money, this is just perfect! She gave me Burberry pants two days ago as well! I am literally in heaven!
