The Front Row at the SS14 Burberry Prorsum Show in London

Burberry Menswear Spring/Summer 2014 - Front Row & Backstage

The grand tent Burberry built on Perk's Field for their homecoming menswear show felt like a very cool slightly old-school garden party, which worked fantastically with the collection Christopher Bailey showed yesterday afternoon. And, as it could be expected, the had an excellent turnout.
The LC:M current ambassador David Gandy and his successor Dermot O'Leary were both in attendance. As were Burberry front row usuals Tinie Tempah – in a SS13 giraffe print t-shirt – and Douglas Booth, who was the lucky one to be wearing SS14. Talk about fashion-forward!
Jamie Campbell Bower and Max Chilton looked effortlessly cool, as did Bolin Chen – in my favourite heart-print shirt – and Greg James, who was attending his second Burberry menswear show this season.
My favourite front-row-ers were, without a doubt, Finn and Jack Harries. I have been following the vloggers for over a year now and I'm so happy to see them attending LC:M events and shows. They have recently hit 2 million subscribers on YouTube and I expect their followers to keep growing. This is yet another genius move from Burberry, which shows their excellent understanding and awareness of new media and its influence.

Stay tuned for the recap of he SS14 show and a closer look at the collection from my visit to the Burberry showroom later today.

He's Fly: Dermot O'Leary in Hardy Amies

If any of you have been following the X Factor this last season you must have surely noticed how its host, Dermot O'Leary, has really taken an incredibly stylish turn in terms of wardrobe. He has worn a suit for every Saturday and Sunday episode and managed to keep the outfits very interesting thanks to the colour combinations and the diversity of spotless cuts. His two suits for the two finale shows, however, caught my attention even more than normal. Something that seemed only obvious once I learnt both of them were by my favourite Saville Row house —Hardy Amies. For the Saturday show Dermot donned one of the blue suits from the house's SS11 collection (which I was lucky to see live during LFW and which will become a must in its entirety). The outfit screamed contemporary and cool through the clean lines of the Row's staple tailor. On Sunday, Dermot went for a more black tie choice from the FW10 collection. This was a more classic choice yet the shorter and thiner lapels made the tuxedo jacket more current. I fell head over heels for the stunning bow tie and the perfect pocket square. Take a look at Hardy Amies' collection on their website and stay tuned for their SS11 look book!
