Celebrating Britain&#8217;s\u00a0diverse culture and Burberry&#8217;s latest collection, the &#8216;Here We Are&#8217; pop-up exhibition at the Old Sessions House showcased a wonderful collection of work from some of\u00a0the\u00a0UK&#8217;s best documentary\u00a0photographers alongside the clothes that they inspired. From the 1960&#8217;s race riots to 80&#8217;s Oxbridge parties, Burberry&#8217;s President and Chief Creative Officer, Christopher Bailey, said the collection provided &#8216;a portrait of British life, in all its nuances, both exceptional and mundane, beautiful and harsh.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I managed to pop down on the last day of the exhibition\u00a0and absolutely fell in love with both the photographs and this beautifully disheveled Clerkenwell landmark and so I thought I&#8217;d show you around&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18256 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Burberry-3.jpg\" alt=\"Burberry 3\" width=\"750\" height=\"1120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Burberry-3.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Burberry-3-300x448.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Burberry-3-600x896.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/here-we-are-burberry-comes-to-clerkenwell?img=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Burberry-3.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/here-we-are-burberry-comes-to-clerkenwell&text=Here We Are - Burberry comes to Clerkenwell\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/here-we-are-burberry-comes-to-clerkenwell&media=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Burberry-3.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18262 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/burber-7.jpg\" alt=\"burber 7\" width=\"750\" height=\"1031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/burber-7.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/burber-7-300x412.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/burber-7-600x825.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/here-we-are-burberry-comes-to-clerkenwell?img=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/burber-7.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/here-we-are-burberry-comes-to-clerkenwell&text=Here We Are - Burberry comes to Clerkenwell\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/here-we-are-burberry-comes-to-clerkenwell&media=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/burber-7.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There was something so uniquely charming about the space. A grand domed-roof foyer,\u00a0apparently modeled on the Pantheon in Rome, gave way to smaller rooms reminiscent of majestic Georgian\u00a0and Victorian houses, high ceilings, ornate coving and slightly battered original wooden floors.\u00a0Light flooded into big rooms with impressive sash windows and trickled into others, creating a really interesting flow that enticed you to explore further. The chipped plaster walls were like art in themselves, layers of colours and textures showing the character and history of the building and providing the perfect vibrant backdrop to the predominately black and white imagery.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18419 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/burberry-5-1.jpg\" alt=\"burberry 5\" width=\"750\" height=\"1056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/burberry-5-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/burberry-5-1-300x422.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/burberry-5-1-600x845.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/here-we-are-burberry-comes-to-clerkenwell?img=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/burberry-5-1.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/here-we-are-burberry-comes-to-clerkenwell&text=Here We Are - Burberry comes to Clerkenwell\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/here-we-are-burberry-comes-to-clerkenwell&media=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/burberry-5-1.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of\u00a0the stand-out rooms had a selection of Burberry\u00a0photographs projected on the walls, each changing every few seconds.
