Stray Kids know a thing or two about festivals. Before setting off on their world tour, the group spent the summer of 2024 racking up festival spots at BST Hyde Park, I-Days Milano, and Lollapalooza. Now, Burberry is using that knowledge to good use in its latest campaign, tapping Seungmin as one of its leading stars.
Unveiled on June 5, 2025, Burberry's new campaign celebrates festival culture through a British lens, with videos directed by Kim Gehrig and photography by Drew Vickers. Seungmin is joined by the likes of Liam Gallagher, Goldie, Loyle Carner, Chy Cartier, John Glacier, Cara Delevingne, Alexa Chung, Lennon Gallagher, Molly Moorish-Gallagher, and Gene Gallagher.
'Think of the campaign like a collage,' Burberry's chief creative officer, Daniel Lee, says in a statement. 'Candid moments capturing off-duty fans and headline acts in between gigs. Burberry sits at the centre of the summer calendar, it's both a means of creative expression and a go-to uniform for festival goers.'
In order to be in the campaign, Seungmin took a break from his busy schedule to fly to London for the shoot. 'Everyone was so supportive and really seemed to enjoy and cheer on my energy, which brought me so much strength. I wanted to stay in London longer!" he says in an exclusive Q&A shared by Burberry. '[My favorite memory from set is] when I took the mic and filmed a performance scene with an Oasis song playing, I really got into it, and I was super happy because everyone seemed to enjoy it.'
To celebrate the release, Teen Vogue got an exclusive behind-the-scenes picture from Seungmin's time on set, as well as the rest of his mini Q&A on festival experiences and essentials.
It would be the moment on stage at last year's festival[s]. The memory of performing in front of countless fans with the sunset in the background still remains so clear to me. The sight of the audience's hands glowing in the sunset really tugged at my heart! Accompanied by the band's sound surrounding us, our music felt truly grand.
Before going on stage to bring good energy to the fans, I always tend to listen to calm music and create a calm environment around me. I also eat a hearty meal beforehand and think about giving it all I've got on stage.
I love performing 'S-Class.' It may be because the song holds a sense of pride, but even when the song isn't in the language of the audience, they still sing along and relate to it, making it feel even more special.
It's always so amazing, and we are so grateful to see how much love people pour into our music and countless other things, even from so far away. Even though we all speak different languages, it seems that our hearts have become similar as they are connected through music.
Since it's not an opportunity that comes easily, I think the big stage of a music festival is a really important and rare chance for artists to connect with fans. [What I enjoy most about festivals] I think would be the moment when everyone comes together as one, united through music. Even if we all speak different languages, we become one by following the same melody, rhythm, and atmosphere.

The Equity Studio Launches Platform Connecting Brands With Creative, Talent Agencies
LONDON — The Equity Studio, which invests in emerging beauty, wellness and lifestyle brands, is launching a collective of creative and talent agencies to help its portfolio companies with 'scale, storytelling and cultural impact.' The collective is known as The Studio, and is a platform for brands to connect and partner with agencies on creative content, event planning and talent sourcing. The first three agencies on board are all talent specialists: CGC Global in London, L.A.'s House of 1212 and Madrid's Untie Agency. More from WWD Iris Ventures Leads Multimillion-dollar Investment Into Fast-growing Wellness Platform Healf Burberry Showers the British Countryside With Checks in Collaboration With The Newt Farfetch Pushes Into South Korea, One of the World's Biggest Luxury Markets The plan is for The Studio to onboard more agencies with different areas of focus and expertise. While creative agencies have been broadening their offers to deliver 360-degree services to clients, it is rare to see an investor create a platform that connects brands with agencies across various markets. Anna Sweeting, founder of The Equity Studio, has always taken a holistic approach to investing. In an interview with WWD, she said 'capital is only part of the equation. True, lasting impact for brands comes from creating meaningful connections between the audiences they inspire and the wider cultural landscape.' The Studio is also a response to a changing market. Sweeting said as consumer demand grows for 'authentic advocacy, creators are no longer just amplifiers — they are embedded engines of storytelling and distribution,' which is why their work is so important to founders. She described the three agencies as an 'extraordinary group of builders and operators who embody the spirit of The Studio. This inaugural group sets the tone — but they're just the beginning.' Sweeting's investments include Gisou, Vestiaire Collective, 111Skin, Axel Arigato, Little Spoon and DeMellier. One of the newest investments is in the British brand Trip, which creates vitamin and plant-powered beverages and supplements. Trip, which was founded in 2019 by the married couple Olivia Ferdi and Daniel Khoury, is the fastest-growing U.K. beverage brand with omnichannel distribution in Europe and the U.S. She believes they have different needs, and that the agencies on the platform will help enhance their work. Sweeting said 'unlike traditional brand amplification models that rely on scheduled bursts of visibility, we ensure our brands are continuously integrated into a dynamic ecosystem. At The Equity Studio, amplification isn't a switch that's turned on and off; it's an always-on presence, seamlessly woven into the lives, platforms, and authentic stories of today's influential voices.' Trip and the other Equity Studio investments will immediately be able to tap into the three agencies, and the others that eventually join The Studio platform. House of 1212 specializes in talent representation, strategic brand partnerships, and brand expansion. Its cofounders include Jay Shetty; Rula Zaabri, chief executive officer, and Blaire Zierke, who is head of operations. 'At House of 1212, our purpose-driven philosophy is rooted in authenticity and strategic collaboration — an approach that aligns seamlessly with The Studio's 'always on' model, transforming ideas into lasting connection and impact,' said the team. CGC is a global communications and talent agency that represents beauty and wellness brands. Founded and led by Clare Goodwin, the portfolio includes Augustinus Bader, Westman Atelier, Glossier, Victoria Beckham Beauty and Diptyque. The CGC talent collective also includes beauty and wellness figures such as Bryony Deery, Hadda Akrim, Rose Ferguson and Wendy Rowe. Untie is a talent agency based in Madrid that represents leading European influencers and personalities. Founded and run by Beatriz Villarroya, it is focused on supporting talent through partnerships, and also providing platform capabilities to support them in developing their own brands, operations and go-to-market strategies.

Liberty,' which offers visitors a glimpse into the Liberty print archive, a resource for fashion and interior designers throughout history. The exhibition is running now and will sail to Japan in August for the Expo 2025 in Osaka. Last month it unveiled The Patchwork Collective, a quilted house made from 1,500 patchwork squares. People and brands who contributed squares included Jil Sander, Paul Smith, La DoubleJ, Barbour, and Levi's. Earlier this year the store worked with the stylist and editor Leith Clark to curate a series of pieces from brands including Fornasetti, Diptyque, Max Mara, Erdem and La DoubleJ. There were also exclusive pieces from Cece Jewellery, Foundrae and Liberty Interiors.

Take a tour inside downtown South Salt Lake's ‘first major development'
Makayla Wade points to the paintings and other artwork placed throughout the double-height lobby within the One Burton, one of Utah's newest apartment complexes. Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol prints, along with work from other artists from the middle of the 20th century, are plastered on the walls next to a conference room and remote work space on the top half of the lobby. A chic clock adorns the wall next to the stairs leading to those spaces, which is near an entrance that pays homage to the old Kutcher's Resort in upstate New York that rose to prominence during that era. 'It's very midcentury modern. That's kind of the inspiration for everything,' says Wade, the complex's community manager, as she leads a tour around the property. Dubbed downtown South Salt Lake's 'first major development' by project leaders and a 'significant milestone' by South Salt Lake Mayor Cherie Wood, it's clear from the moment anyone steps in that art is a heavy focus inside the eight-story, 180-unit mixed-use development. There's art on every floor and a small art gallery space on the fourth floor featuring rotating art pieces on television screens to keep things fresh. Even its exterior oozes art, as a large mural was painted on one of its sides as part of South Salt Lake's annual Mural Fest earlier this year, and a few other murals from past festivals are located nearby. The complex also comes with the same types of amenities common in other newly constructed apartment complexes, such as a community hot tub, game room, fitness center, coworking spaces and pet washing area. There's also a dog park set aside for the residents' best friends. Its units are a mix of studio to two-bedroom options, each coming with a washer and dryer, walk-in closets and wider space than many units. There's also enough parking for every resident, along with space for bikes. Located on the corner of Main Street and Burton Avenue (2360 South), it's also located near a Utah Transit Authority S-Line station. Three retail spaces are still under construction. Wade said a hairstyling business is slated to open in one of them, while management is also close to finalizing a deal to bring in a restaurant. Rental costs range from $1,390 to $3,575 per month. While the first residents began moving in last month, project and South Salt Lake leaders gathered Wednesday to celebrate its completion, which they say marks a milestone for the city. The $50 million project started as the New York-based Abstract Development Group toured sites for potential development in Salt Lake County, sometime after forming in 2020. Developers fell in love with the corner of Burton Avenue and Main Street, which felt both 'underappreciated' and 'blossoming with potential,' said Jason Algaze, a principal at the firm. They particularly enjoyed the Mural Fest artwork and the creative reuse of industrial spaces nearby. Getting One Burton off the ground wasn't without its challenges, though. Development and construction required coordination with YesCo to move around an I-80 billboard in the area so that it wouldn't be intrusive to future residents, he said. That's on top of the other challenges all development projects have faced in recent years, such as rising costs. But the final product is essentially a love letter to the growing neighborhood. The Kutcher's Resort references are a nod to resorts in upstate New York, also providing an outdoorsy vibe for the mountains in the background, Algaze explained. The art plays into the city's growing scene, which also received another boost on Wednesday. Abstract Development presented the South Salt Lake Arts Council with a $2,000 donation before the ribbon-cutting ceremony. 'I personally think this is like the creative side of Salt Lake or definitely will be, so we wanted to make sure we did something nice,' he said. South Salt Lake leaders called One Burton a 'foundational' piece of downtown South Salt Lake's downtown plans when construction began in 2022. And views from the top will soon offer a unique vantage point of what's to come in the surrounding area. The growing city has received additional redevelopment interest since then. It's located within a block or two of a large field where the development company Blaser Ventures has placed signs advertising a massive new development that seeks to bring about 500 affordable units and additional retail space to the area within the next few years. South Salt Lake leaders say that's just the beginning, too, as they carry out their downtown vision that began about 15 years ago. Growth in this section has already contributed to the city's 12% population rise since then. 'This is the first of many projects that will transform our community,' Wood said.
