DUBAI: British Moroccan model Nora Attal swaps the Burberry runways of Paris for the quiet charm of the British countryside in Barbour’s Spring/Summer 2026 campaign.
Fronting the brand’s new Icons collection, Attal brings a contemporary edge to Barbour’s storied outerwear, long considered a staple of the British wardrobe.
For SS26, Barbour revisits six of its most recognisable styles — the Durham, Bedale, Border, Spey, Transport and Beadnell — refining the heritage silhouettes in lighter, breathable fabrics suited to warmer days. Originally designed for outdoor pursuits, the jackets retain their functional appeal while adapting to seasonal wear.

Meanwhile, last month, Burberry recreated a rainy London night out for its winter 2026 show this week, sending models, including Attal, in fur and leather down a tar-like catwalk covered in puddles.
In Old Billingsgate Market, a former fish market on the banks of the Thames, a replica of Tower Bridge provided the centerpiece of creative director Daniel Lee’s seventh show for the British luxury brand.
Attal walked the runway in a long, statement coat in warm brown tones with a plush, fur-like texture and darker vertical accents running through it.
Under the coat, she was dressed in a black double-breasted tailored suit with a plunging neckline, paired with matching straight-leg trousers.
Late last year, she also turned heads at Burberry’s Winter 2025 showcase, held at London’s Tate Britain.
She donned a long black faux fur coat, cinched at the waist with a belt, with an oversized silhouette. Underneath, the catwalk star wore a matching set consisting of a brown collared top and coordinating trousers, which peeked from beneath the coat. The sleeves of the top extend slightly beyond the coat’s cuffs. The outfit was completed with brown heels.
Attal was first discovered by Jonathan Anderson, founder of the JW Anderson label, and shot a campaign for the British fashion house in 2014 before she had even taken her first steps down a catwalk.
She would go on to become a runway fixture. Based in London and signed to Viva Model Management, Attal has worked with a number of renowned designers and stylists. She has walked the runway for major fashion houses, including Fendi, Chanel, Tod’s, Stella McCartney and Valentino, to name a few.
