Who Is Drew Henry?
Born in Mpumalanga, South Africa, Henry trained at LISOF in Johannesburg and Central Saint Martins. He worked at Céline under Phoebe Philo, JW Anderson, Philo’s independent label, and most recently as senior design director at Burberry alongside Daniel Lee.
What Henry Says About the Collection
“I wouldn’t say there are any key silhouettes. It’s more about playing with knitwear and color, and seeing where that takes us,” he told Vogue. He focused on the colorful early-1960s archives rather than the late Space Age period and revived a 1967 logo.
