BURBERRYOPENERS Readers Invited to an Event in Kobe!

The History of the Trench Coat, Styling Tips, and a Photo Shoot
BURBERRY Kobe boasts one of Japan's largest selections of imported collections, alongside its Omotesando and Ginza Marronnier Dori stores. Its grand opening last November in the Kobe foreign settlement, an area retaining its classic, chic atmosphere, is still fresh in our memory. It is at this BURBERRY Kobe store that an exclusive trench coat event for OPENERS readers will be held.
Fashion directors Yuma Tomoki and Norio Osumi will also be present at this event. It's a unique opportunity to hear a talk session delving into the history of the trench coat, an iconic piece of the brand, and to try on trench coats yourself while receiving styling advice.
Additionally, there will be a special BURBERRY lottery and a professional photo shoot featuring guests in their favorite trench coats, among other exciting content.
This promises to be a special day where you can deepen your knowledge of trench coats and perhaps find your own perfect piece.
The application deadline is Monday, February 25th, at noon. We encourage everyone to apply.
Speaking of BURBERRY, we also recommend "ART OF THE TRENCH" (http://www.artofthetrench.com), a website dedicated to trench coat snaps. You can view selected trench coat stylings from submissions worldwide.
