British style label Burberry produced history today as it broadcast its catwalk display live in 3D.

The London Fashion Week event played hosts to some who’s who of Hollywood as A-listers sought refuge from the drizzly sky under a canopy of examine umbrellas ahead of the much-hyped display.

The 154-year-old brand streamed the new collection from five simultaneous private events in New York, Paris, Dubai, Tokyo and Los Angeles.

Kate Hudson, dazzling in the bottle-green sequin dress, stopped to chat to backstage presenter Greg James and no doubt viewers all over the globe significantly appreciated the 3D view.

Twilight star Kirsten Stewart, fashionista Mary-Kate Olsen and Claire Danes were among the celebrities that poured into the hall waiting to view Christopher Bailey’s inspired creations.

As anticipation within reached fever pitch, the lights went out, music queued and models showcased a military-inspired collection, entitled Burberry Cadette Girls.

And a single key piece stood out, promising to be a hit among the fashion elite next season – the Burberry coat.

This year’s staple is all about texture. From leather to sheepskin, belted and embellished, outerwear is a must-have to become seen in.
