It does feel like Markle is leaning into a subdued, stylish way of dressing where her clothes are (or seem to be) more relatable, reserved, and not, well, distracting. Which, in a way, seems to be a goal that goes far beyond fashion. When Iris Law was born, she, like so many other millennium babies, was immediately swaddled in Nova check. “I was taken home from the hospital in a Burberry baby carrier,” the model says, with a laugh. “That’s actually my earliest memory of the brand because we used to have a photo of it at home.” The daughter of actors Jude Law and Sadie Frost, Iris’s birth dovetailed with a specific idea of Englishness, exported via Noughties rom-coms. It’s an archetype that Daniel Lee seems keen to investigate at Burberry, bringing the traditional (albeit Instagrammable) Norman’s café from Kentish Town in north London to the Seongsu region of Seoul.
Though a cursory scroll through Iris’s TikTok (where she spends most of her time making frozen yoghurt snack bars) will reveal that she is not a processed meat kind of person, it would seem that even she cannot resist the pleasures of a greasy spoon. “There’s something so lovely about the simplicity of those breakfasts,” she says. “It’s super wholesome and if I go to a caff, I’ll just get white toast and jam with English breakfast tea. It reminds me of my grandparents.” Admittedly, she prefers South Korean produce. “The fruit in Seoul is so much better. The Korean Pear is my favorite and the Persimmons are so good. The seasonal fruit is of such good quality and I wish I could get them at home.”
