Bosses at British fashion house Burberry will debut their spring/summer 2021 season via the Twitch platform.

It is the first fashion house to partner with Twitch, which is usually regarded as a streaming service for gamers, announced its latest collection will be livestreamed on the Burberry Twitch account (https://www.twitch.tv/burberry/squad), at 1 pm BST on 17 September.

The show will allow viewers to immerse themselves in a fashion show set in the British outdoors, as well as chatting with virtual guests and experiencing music and arts.

In a press release, Rod Manley, chief marketing officer at Burberry, said in a statement: "Burberry has always been a brand of firsts and partnering with Twitch continues this legacy.

Twitch executive Adam Harris added: "Burberry has embraced the full potential of Twitch in this collaboration to create a truly live, interactive, never to be repeated experience. There is great overlap between the Twitch and Burberry superfans, creating a hugely impactful synergy between the two brands."
