Is there anything more classic than a Burberry print? Inherently British and undeniably stylish, the description could apply just as easily to the brand as it does to Joe Locke.

Known for his roles in Heartstopper and Agatha All Along, Locke attended Burberry’s Spring 2027 presentation in London. Exclusively for V MAN, Locke kept a digital diary of his preparations, capturing the moments leading up to the show.

“Hey V Man! Come and get ready with me for the Burberry SS27 show.”

“Thank you to Nadia Altinbas for nailing the grooming brief.”

 “Lloyd Pursall catching me as I’m pondering over the St. Clement in-room dining… steak and chips or a kids’ menu chicken nuggets…?”

“I love the look my amazing stylist Holly White pulled in for the show. The collar detailing with the iconic Burberry check is such a subtle and classy touch.”

“Excited to see what’s in store for Burberry’s next collection!”

” Checking out all the seat offerings in my gorgeous room inside the new St Clement Hotel by Nick Jones.”

“We have to leave in 5 minutes, but I just wanted to check if the floor was as comfortable as the sofa…”

“It wasn’t, but it’s a cute backdrop for the shoot x”

“Imagining what my Eastenders ‘duff duff’ moment would be.”

” Final checks and we’re good to go!”
