The turning point came in 1879 with the invention of gabardine, a waterproof, breathable, and revolutionary fabric for its time. This innovation made Burberry a benchmark for technical and functional apparel. At the beginning of the 20th century, the brand was chosen by explorers and military officers: Burberry outfitted polar expeditions and British officers, consolidating its reputation for reliability and quality.

During World War I, the trench coat was born, designed for army officers. With its epaulettes, belt, and practical cut, the trench became a timeless style icon over time, capable of transcending its military context to establish itself in civilian fashion. In the post-war period, Burberry transformed into a symbol of British elegance, adopted by actors, intellectuals, and members of high society.

In the '60s, the famous check pattern was introduced, initially used as a lining for coats and later becoming one of the most recognizable patterns in the world. Between the '80s and '90s, the brand experienced strong global expansion but also faced the risk of losing exclusivity. In subsequent decades, a new creative and managerial strategy brought Burberry back to the center of contemporary luxury fashion.
