Burberry has a longstanding relationship with Kris Wu who was announced as the brand’s ambassador in October 2016. He made his runway debut with the brand closing it’s London menswear show in January 2016 and most recently attended the brand’s September 2017 show in London.

‘I am happy to be continuing to partner with Burberry and on such a creative collaboration. It has been a special experience working with Christopher Bailey on this collection, which integrates my personal style into classic Burberry pieces. I was so inspired by the spirit, forward-thinking attitude and heritage of Burberry that I wrote and recorded a new Hip-Hop track called ‘B.M.’ which encapsulates my experience with the fashion house.’ – Kris Wu
