Christopher Bailey Speaks Out On Burberry’s Success – 14/9/09

Last week, Burberry made their grand entry to the FTSE 100. And it appears that their Creative Director, Christopher Bailey, is over the moon about it.

He told The Independent that "I never imagined we could have been a FTSE 100 company. I still think of us as this tiny little company. We're very tight, everybody knows each other. It's a very friendly, embracing company. And this is huge."


Bailey also said, “Burberry is about heritage, but about making that heritage relevant for today. You have to make sure what you do is right for the moment you live in."


We definitely agree with Bailey; brands must be adaptable to the times. There’s nothing worse than being stuck in the past.
