For Spring/Summer 2025, Daniel Lee infuses Burberry’s eyewear line with a new visual language. Drawing from the House’s emblematic codes—equestrian knight, check pattern, shield—he transforms them into sculptural design elements. Laser engravings, material contrasts, bold silhouettes: every model balances heritage with a forward-looking edge.
Notable highlights include the mask-style frames BE4465 and BE4460U with shield-shaped hinges and laser-etched lenses. The bold cat-eye styles BE4454 ADV and BE4450U feature sharp cut-outs and metal-inlaid temples. On the optical side, frames like BE2427U ADV and BE2437D ADV emphasize sleekness and subtle detailing without losing graphic impact.
First introduced in 1901, the equestrian knight is omnipresent across the SS25 eyewear collection. Whether laser-etched into lenses or sculpted into shield-shaped elements, it serves as a continuous visual thread. Rather than a nostalgic emblem, Daniel Lee uses it as a dynamic design tool that bridges past and present.
Absolutely. From assertive cat-eye frames to classic rectangular silhouettes and futuristic mask styles, the range is broad. Each typology is defined by distinct features—matching temple tips, acetate-metal contrasts, embossed textures. The line also includes Alternative Fit options for enhanced comfort across face shapes.
Sculpted acetate, contrasting nylon, and light gold or silver-tone metals dominate. The finishes are finely executed: grooved surfaces on temples, embossed checks, laser-engraved detailing. Refined transparencies and metallic sheens add dimension to the sculptural quality Daniel Lee brings to eyewear.
Because it brilliantly shows how a heritage house like Burberry can renew its visual icons without losing its soul. Under Daniel Lee’s vision, eyewear becomes collectible, sculptural, and unapologetically forward-looking.
