DUBAI: Part-Palestinian sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid joined fellow super models to unveil Riccardo Tisci’s new designs for Burberry at London Fashion Week on Monday, a collection that featured the house’s signature neutral tones and references to old-style British tailoring and vintage sportswear. The eldest Hadid, Gigi, took to the mirrored runway at London’s Kensington Olympia in a sporty bomber jacket and catsuit, while her younger sister Bella stunned in a beige bodycon midi dress that featured a keyhole cut-out as pianists Katia and Marielle Labeque played live.

The models, who were recently selected to star in the storied fashion house’s newest campaign, were joined by hijab-wearing model Ugbad Abdi, who also took to the runway at Monday’s fashion extravaganza. For her part, Abdi strutted in a long tartan dress paired with checked trousers, a trench coat and headscarf. Fellow supermodels Joan Smalls and Irina Shayk also starred in the high-octane show.

The collection, entitled “Memories,” was Tisci’s third since joining the storied fashion house as chief creative officer and featured everything from sleek and classic looks to sporty and edgy ensembles.

The beige trench coat — an item synonymous with the brand since founder Thomas Burberry first designed it in weather-proof gabardine fabric more than a century ago — also featured in the new collection, of course.
