Tom Daley wears Burberry to The Jonathan Ross Show

Burberry has very carefully – and cleverly – chosen the best Olympic-related moments to appear. First it was Karen Elson in the stunning golden number during the closing ceremony shortly followed by Tinie Tempah's metallic jacket look (my favourite). Now that the craziness is over the brand is choosing to dress the most stylish of the British medallists – aka: Tom Daley. The diver wore a Burberry Prorsum dog-print t-shirt under a slick blazer also by the brand and looked, quite honestly, very sharp and cool. He was so excited about his outfit he tweeted about it before taping the episode of the show, which airs tomorrow night in the UK.
I am really hoping that we get to see a few more fashion moments from this talented and stylish young guy.

Whatever your feelings might be towards the London 2012 closing ceremony it can't be argued that at least in terms of music the UK has put on quite a show. I am also thrilled that they included the British fashion scene in the show because it's such an important part of the country's culture.
There will be more posts on Know Wear about who wore what – Spice Girls, hello? – but first let me rejoice in Tinie Tempah's incredible Olympic moment in one of Burberry Prorsum's stand out pieces from the menswear SS13 collection. I bet it took everyone less than half a second to recognise it. I gave a scream of excitement alone in my flat, especially since it was accompanied by one of my favourite tunes of his.
Check out the whole collection on my post here and indulge yourself further with the full video of the show here.

Church's presents the "Stratford" shoe for the London Olympics

I would never thought I would ever be into any of the endless special editions of merchandise created for the London 2012 Olympics. But then again we're not talking about 'merchandise' here. Church's is presenting this month their new shoe – the "Stratford" – exclusively designed for the Olympics. The collection will include 17 colour combinations. They will all be available at the brand's flagship store on Regent Street, which will be transformed into a Olympic pop-up shop for the occasion.
The whole concept of the shoe was to create something casual – imagine a pair of Doctor Martens, only lighter, slicker and incredibly well made. And, in line with this season's trends, the whole line is about pops of colour and contrast between the upper, the sole and the welt (see here if you don't speak shoe).
I am very interested in seeing what the other 12 models are like, Church's is always coming up with genius ways of updating the classics.
