Burberry at Jing'an Kerry Centre — Burberry Brit Rhythm Shanghai Concert (2014)

Jing'an Kerry Centre's Burberry flagship hosted a Brit Rhythm fragrance launch concert in Shanghai.

The venue

Jing'an Kerry Centre is a mixed-use retail and office complex in Shanghai's Jing'an district. Its shopping podium contains fashion and lifestyle units arranged around internal circulation, with the Burberry flagship occupying a large store footprint. The venue sits within the city's central retail fabric, serving daily mall traffic, office workers and shoppers. The store itself is an enclosed retail environment rather than a purpose-built performance hall.

How the space was used

For the Shanghai Brit Rhythm launch, the Burberry flagship was converted into a temporary concert setting. A performance area was built inside the store, with the British band The Family Rain playing to an invited fashion and music audience. Retail fixtures and store circulation framed the event, turning the shopping floor into a listening and gathering space.

Why it works here

A flagship store in a central mall gives the brand a controlled indoor environment while retaining passing retail footfall. The store's existing retail context and central Shanghai location suit a music-led fragrance launch that needs intimacy, brand control and an urban audience already moving through the complex.
