Burberry To Stream London Fashion Week Show Live in 3D Globally On 23 February

It is amazing how technology has changed our way of receiving information. Not just contented with live streaming of their runway shows, Burberry has again taken the lead in embracing new technologies and will live stream their upcoming womens show in 3D! Did you hear that? How amazing!

'' We are very excited to announce that we are hosting the first ever truly global fashion show. We will be simultaneously live streaming our show using 3D technology directly to New York, Paris, Dubai, Tokyo and LA. This unprecedented event will enable people to experience the energy and atmosphere of this show from around the world. 3D technology will bring our global audience into the London show space allowing them to see the colours and fabrics, to hear the music and to be a part of that moment when it all finally comes together.'' Christopher Bailey, Chief Creative Officer

The Autumn Winter 2010/11 womenswear show will take place at The Chelsea College of Art in London at 4PM on 23 February 2010 (That's in 2 days time!), during London Fashion Week.

Burberry will live stream the show in 3D to events in New York, Paris, Dubai, Tokyo and Los Angeles. These private 3D events will receive live stream from London to custom screening spaces designed by Burberry Chief Creative Officer, Christopher Bailey.
