London Fashion Week – Burberry AW26 at Old Billingsgate.

When client Bureau Betak approached Star Live in December with the concept for Burberry’s London Fashion Week AW26 show, they wanted a runway and bleacher seating set around a stylised Tower Bridge – stripped back to a structural frame of raw galvanised scaffolding, abstract architectural forms and a stark black-and-white palette, complete with puddled flooring reflecting London’s reputation for rain

This week, that concept became reality.

With our design, fabrication and engineering processes delivered to programme, ​ structures were installed within Old Billingsgate’s 740sqm Grand Hall. High-density architectural elements were integrated within the scaffold Tower Bridge silhouette, with black flooring (including ‘puddles’) and bleacher seating surrounding the showpiece structure for nearly 600 guests.

Delivering within a heritage venue required detailed coordination, controlled loading and careful integration with existing building constraints. All structures were engineered, checked and installed to meet event safety standards and H&S approvals, ensuring compliance without compromising the creative ambition.

Tight programme. Heritage venue. Engineered temporary structures for live environments.

It was a privilege to work on this project with the team at Bureau Betak: Julien Bedane, Juliette Ergen, Charlotte Say, Laurene Delaure Konan, Léa Alexandrov, Tarik El Maarouf, Rita Ghermani, Gwenaelle Bernai.
