You can always judge a man by his shoes, and Christopher Bailey’s Burberry men are all wearing suede penny loafers and trainers this Autumn.

It’s that time of year again–A Claridge’s Christmas

November 18, 2015

It’s one of the things I most miss about London. The big dept store windows, Somerset House ice rink and tree and the Claridge’s lobby tree. The latter always a source of big unveiling and a launch party (natch!) with the focus on the designer serving up the tree design much anticipated. In the past, […]

Music Is The Answer–Burberry and Apple Music

September 17, 2015

British music is as intrinsic to the Burberry brand as the trench coat and house check, so it’s really no surprise that the digital innovator is the first luxury fashion firm to team up with online streaming service Apple Music – especially as its parent company has nabbed three of Burberry’s top executives over the […]

June 22, 2015

Burberry’s catwalk shows are lavish events where mere mortals like us dream of pushing our faces against the glass to peek at the spectacle within. Except, for Burberry Prorsum’s Spring/Summer 2016 menswear collection, that spectacle was set outside, soundtracked by an up-and-coming male singer named RHODES, a British musician with cheekbones carved from marble and […]

Fringes, Patterns & Woodstock. Bailey’s Burberry Prorsum is Right Back on Form

February 23, 2015

If there’s one thing that Burberry Prorsum can do, it’s know how to put on a REAL catwalk show that usurps all others in the celebrity, pre-hype, social media strategy and pre-order sales areas. When Christopher Bailey took over (from Angela Ahrendts) as C.E.O as well as Chief Creative Officer of the brand in 2014, […]

Burberry’s Stylish Mix of Hand Paints & Navajo Wraps

February 17, 2014

It’s defo a trend. By next season, stylish women will be draped and wrapped against the elements in blanket shawls and ponchos which are making an appearance every few shows. It’s a pity they’re not around now as the fashion cognoscenti have been braving the rain & wind and could do with warmer clothing. At […]

Burberry releases Burberry Body Tender fronted by Cara Delevigne

March 2, 2013

Seems the world’s gone mad for Cara D. Even falling out of clubs the worst for wear post London Fashion Week only added to her allure. She’s the one with the eye on La Reine Moss’s crown now the latter is practically the elder statesmodel of British fashion. And Burberry lay the biggest claim to […]

Burberry’s S/S’13 campaign features Romeo Beckham

December 17, 2012

I fear for Burberry with this one (and I do love that brand). This could be their Brad Pitt/Chanel moment and just before 2012 finishes. Still, already the Twittersphere is all abuzz with the images and conversations about its merits, or not. What I’m referring to, of course, is Burberry’s Spring/Summer’13 campaign featuring none other […]

Burberry’s S/S’13 Prorsum Show – A Spectacle Across Three Domains

September 24, 2012

In my Burberry Prorsum show review, I wrote about the show’s wow factor and how Chief Creative Officer, Christopher Bailey, has advanced the brand in leaps and bounds with this forward thinking and trend specific collection. However, it is the brand’s digital global influence as undoubtably the world’s premier digitally focused sales and marketing brand […]
