From Withnail to with style: Richard E Grant steals show on Burberry catwalk

Actor who found fame in shabby attire creates pop culture moment on last night of London fashion week

Thirty-eight years after his film career began in a swaggeringly shabby coat in Withnail and I, Richard E Grant gave us another pop culture moment at the last show of London fashion week, modelling a rather smarter olive tweed number on the Burberry catwalk.

A starry line-up at Tate Britain on Monday also included White Lotus’s Jason Isaacs and Lesley Manville (Naomi Campbell was relegated to the supporting cast.) It was the heartwarming feelgood ending that a muted London fashion week badly needed.
