People – Christopher Bailey

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 Mega Check Bag

It seems like in challenging times like this, everyone in Burberry has been working extra hard to come up with many products to lure spending. Like i have said again and again, with the Sterling Pound cheaper now, there has never been a better time to indulge in something from Burberry. For this season, Burberry tweaked its Nova check and make it darker, somewhat more military and i love the collection from its clothes, coats to its bags. Burberry Prorsum line, especially has grown dressier, edgier, sexier and grown-up, reflecting the spirits of its Creative Director, Christopher Bailey. Love this bag for its casual cool appeal and although the signature check is all over, it looks classy and subtle with the darker tones. Available at Neiman Marcus for USD1,495.
