For more than a century, Burberry has created clothing designed to protect people from the elements. In this NEXT IN VOGUE 2025 conversation, Carly Eck, Burberry’s Vice President, Brand Curator, Archive and Heritage, joins Desmond Lim, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Singapore, for an immersive journey through the house’s history—from its founding story and the invention of gabardine to the evolution of its most enduring icon, the trench coat.
Moderated by Sharanjit Leyl, the conversation explores the outerwear archetypes that have inspired generations to venture outdoors, whatever the weather. It also considers how “Prorsum”—the Latin word for “forward” featured in Burberry’s Equestrian Knight Design—continues to inform the house’s reinterpretation of its heritage codes and its vision for the future.
