Burberry In Session ‘When we started thinking about curating ‘Here We Are’, I knew I wanted it to celebrate a certain strand of British photography that I have always loved – one which documents the many and varied tribes and clans and classes that make up this island of ours. It’s the spirit of these photographs – sometimes ironic, sometimes tender, always truthful – that has guided our September collection.’ - Christopher Bailey, Creative Director of Burberry and Co-curator of ‘Here We Are’. Fashion brand Burberry is taking over London’s ‘Old Sessions House’ for a new exhibition celebrating British portrait photography on 18 September. Titled ‘Here We are’ the temporary show is being curated by Burberry’s chief creative officer Christopher Bailey, photographer Alasdair McLellan and Lucy Kumara Moore, founder of bookshop ‘Claire de Rouen’. It will fill three floors of the grade II*-listed former courthouse on Clerkenwell Green, ahead of its transformation into a private members club by Sätila Studios. The exhibition picks up on social (and fashion) trends throughout the 20th century and includes previously unseen shots by director Ken Russell. Originally known as the ‘Middlesex Sessions House’, the building was once the biggest and busiest courthouse in England. Built in 1779 by architect Thomas Rogers, it was later used for manufacturing scales and as a Masonic lodge before Sätila Studios founders Oliver and Ted Grebelius bought it in 2014. ‘Here We Are’ runs from 18 September to 1 October and will give visitors a rare glimpse inside the building, which is earmarked for conversion into a 1,000 person private members club venue with bars and restaurants. There’ll also be a bookshop and pop-up cafe on site too. ‘Here We Are’ runs from 18 September to 1 October at Old Sessions House in London. #chapeaulondon #chapeaublog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #wordsandpictures #amazing #london #lifestyle #burberry #lfw #hereweare #exhibition #photography #fashion #british #christopherbailey #oldsessionshouse (at Burberry At Old Sessions House)

Burberry In Session Celebrating all things British, the temporary photographic exhibition features over 200 photographs from 30 British social and documentary photographers working predominantly in post-war Britain. The earliest work on display – and it is a vintage beauty – is Bill Brandt’s ‘York Villa Bath’, 1935. Hanging proud on its own wall, the black and white photograph depicts a trussed up housekeeper polishing an ornate mantelpiece in a stately home. Renowned for documenting the lives of the affluent British, it slots in nicely next to Karen Knorr's Belgravia series, depicting the home interiors of wealthy Londoners in the 80s.

At the central atrium of ‘Old Sessions House’ you are confronted with a wall of well-healed well-dressed mannequins donning Burberry trenches, chiffon chemises, and baby pink parkas. Just a subtle reminder (as if we needed one) that ‘Here We Are’ is a celebration of Burberry's sartorial heritage, more than anything else. ‘Here We Are’ runs from 18 September to 1 October at Old Sessions House in London. #chapeaulondon #chapeaublog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #wordsandpictures #amazing #london #lifestyle #burberry #lfw #hereweare #exhibition #photography #fashion #british #christopherbailey #oldsessionshouse (at Burberry At Old Sessions House)
