DESCRIPTION:Sep 21\, 2026 - Jan 3\, 2027\nIn 1879\, Thomas Burberry invente
 d gabardine\, a tightly woven\, weatherproof fabric that was more breathab
 le than the rubberized rainwear of the day. The trench coat followed\, bec
 oming standard issue for British officers during the First World War\, the
 n making its way into civilian wardrobes. It has remained in production ev
 er since\, worn by Humphrey Bogart\, adopted by punks\, revived by Christo
 pher Bailey\, and continually reinvented. The V&A traces that evolution in
  an exhibition that features Burberry catalogue pages from the 1930s and 4
 0s and some of the trench’s more unusual incarnations: Hardy Amies’s p
 ersonalized 1979 car coat\; a pink metallic-silk version from 2013\; and a
  fringed\, baroque-print coat from 2025.
