Burberry encapsulates so much of what is great about Britain,” the designer said in a statement.“It has been a truly inspiring place to work and the decision to leave was not an easy one. I do truly believe, however, that Burberry’s best days are still ahead of her and that the company will go from strength to strength. I am excited to pursue new creative projects but remain fully committed to the future success of this magnificent brand and to ensuring a smooth transition.”Not only was Bailey responsible for Burberry’s soaring profits, the 46-year-old is also credited with transforming the label into a digital powerhouse, pioneering the ‘see now, buy now’ movement and utilising social media platforms like Snapchat.In charge of over 50 Burberry collections a year encompassing all ready-to-wear, accessories, beauty and fragrance, Bailey’s talent will be sorely missed in the fashion industry.After all, he was responsible for turning London into a global fashion hub, transforming London Fashion Week into somewhere that attracts top editors, celebrities, models and other talent.Here are some of Christopher Bailey’s biggest Burberry achievements.Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for non-stop inspiration delivered fresh to your feed, every day.
