People – Christopher Bailey

Posted on by

The latest British invasion comes in the form of undeniably beautiful clothes, trench, bags and shoes from Burberry. Especially for the last eight years, Christopher Bailey, Burberry’s chief creative officer, has got the world under his spell.

Bailey made a visit to Buckingham Palace last Friday to receive his Member of the Order of the British Empire honor from Queen Elizabeth II. “I am both honored and humbled,” said Bailey, who was named an MBE as part of this year’s Queen’s birthday honors list for his services to the fashion industry. “This award also recognizes the incredible team that I work with, and it is a privilege to be a part of Burberry, a great British brand.”

Burberry returned home to London for its Spring / Summer 2010 fashion show held on 22 September 2009 after years of having the show in Milan. The collection has been widely regarded as one of Bailey’s finest for Burberry to date.

Burberry The Art of Trench

Posted on by

The house of Burberry is best known for its trench coats and Christopher Bailey embraces that. Maybe not in countries like Singapore but in Europe and US, trench coats are part of daily life. Burberry might not have projects that involve artists like Takashi Murakami or Richard Prince but when Mr Bailey has a project, it involves cool unpretentious people like The Sartorialist. The project? Simple, taking picture of ordinary people in trench and the result is The Art of Trench and it is really really cool. Even cooler is you could also submit you own pictures wearing a Burberry trench and Burberry will choose the best and put in on the site. The Trench is truly wearable art.
