Burberry will celebrate fashion, music, and Britishness at an exclusive event at Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles on April 16, 2015.  The event marks the latest in a series of activities that have taken place in Los Angeles since the opening of the Rodeo Drive flagship in autumn 2014. The soiree will be hosted by Burberry’s Chief Creative and Chief Executive Officer Christopher Bailey and will take place at the iconic venue in Griffith Park marking the first time a British luxury brand has used the location to celebrate Los Angeles and its communities.

“It is an incredible honour and a huge privilege to be able to bring a little bit of Burberry’s hometown of London to such an iconic venue in the heart of Los Angeles,” said Christopher Bailey. “Griffith Observatory is a truly inspiring place and I would like to thank the City for allowing us to host our event there.”

To celebrate the opening of the brand’s flagship and the Griffith Observatory event, Burberry is working with the non-profit group Friends Of The Observatory (FOTO) on a series of funded projects over the next two years. As part of these efforts, the Burberry Foundation will also continue work with Hearts of Los Angeles (HOLA), providing them with additional funding for projects taking place over the next 2 years.
