The ground floor showrooms at the headquarters were transformed for the event with giant video screens projecting innovations of the Burberry check, catwalk looks, behind the scenes footage of the show preparation as well as live comments from social media sites including Twitter and Facebook. A state of the art blogging suite was also set up here guests were able to blog directly from the party, posting comments and status updates on the evening’s events.
