Burberry dresses the most stylish men at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards

EVawards1

Last night Anna Wintour and Christopher Bailey co-hosted the 58th London Evening Standard Theatre Awards at The Savoy in London. All the most stylish attendees were, of course, clad in Burberry.
Damian Lewis accessorised his stunning midnight blue number – my favourite colour for evening – with a pencil tache that added a vintage taste to his look. Nicholas Brody can do no wrong in my eyes.
I always get excited by Tinie Tempah's outfits. He is impossibly modern but also very sharp. He never gets an inch wrong on a tailored suit and here I'm really appreciating the sock-less touch and the velvet slippers. You can buy his Burberry London suit here and here from Mr Porter.
It's hard for me to imagine Colin Firth out of a suit. Come to think of it, he was probably born wearing one. His more traditional black number and velvet bow tie were equally chic.
Jeremy Irvine and Rob Pryor both went for really classic black suits. Irvine paired his with an also very classic black silk bow tie while Pryor added a bit of texture with his grey velvet one.

Most Stylish of the Week: Robert Rabensteiner rocks the velvet slipper

MSOTW5Oct

Hard as I try, it's nearly impossible to get any fresh faces to the Most Stylish of the Week post! I guess it makes sense, he who is stylish is always well dressed. Nonetheless, I am happy to finally include Robert Rabensteiner in a post. He is, in my opinion, one of the most stylish men in the planet and also one of the most original and fashion-forward but always masculine and never over-the-top. This week he was in Paris with the rest of the fashion pack where he wore straight-cut jeans with a casual blue shirt, a dark pin stripe blazer and black velvet slippers. This is so on-trend but so classic and so individual at the same time, it just blows my mind. And, mind you, not anyone can pull off a pair of women's sunglasses.
Over at LAX airport Andrew Garfield got off a plane looking this cool in a perfect combination of colours. The key to a casual and relaxed look is the fit of everything you wear and Garfield's got that down too. And, well, being tall is always a plus.
Logan Lerman had his first late night talk show experience this week with Jimmy Fallon. I was a big fan of the kid even before watching his brilliant performance on 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' and I'm glad he's also doing well in the wardrobe department. He wore a very classic combo of grey suit, white shirt and black tie and shoes but I liked the 'relaxed' vibe introduced by the loose tie knot and the laceless brogues some celebrities have been getting a kick off lately.
Even though I would never in my life wear an outfit such as this I thought that Justin Timberlake looked terribly cool in his golf outfit. His nylon (?) J Lindeberg trousers and shoes are too wide but very much what he normally wears and I still smile every time I see the printed polo shirt buttoned up and worn with that hat.
You already saw Rob Pryor earlier this week on Burberry's campaign for 'The Britain'. He was at the brands Regent Store theme park flagship superstore earlier this week celebrating the launch of the collection. He was joined by Roo Panes, who stars in the Burberry Prorsum FW12 campaign. They both looked very stylish in their put together/scruffy looks. I am still in love with Roo's houndstooth blazer, which we saw him wear already at the London Collections: Men closing party.

Burberry presents 'The Britain', a luxury watch of British precision

TheBritain1

Today Burberry launches their new time collection very aptly named 'The Britain'. After all, British punctuality is, along with tea, trench coats and bowler hats, one of the things this country is famous for. But even a Brit can't be on time without a good watch – enters 'The Britain'.
I am extremely picky when it comes to choosing watches because the smallest details can throw me off. But I must admit I am really keen on this new collection. I love the rounded octagonal shape of the case and the screw details. It's not round but it isn't angular and it isn't ultra modern but it's not dated either. In Christopher Bailey's words: "The Britain is this powerful balance of modernity and tradition, mixing strong attitude and innovative design with craftsmanship and timeless quality." Something that is key to everything Burberry does.
The collection includes several different models all in the same style  but varying in extra functions and, obviously, colour combinations. The subtle palette nods to the brand's iconic colours of their trench coats. My personal favourite is the very simple 'Automatic BBY1202' featuring brushed stainless steel and sapphire crystal with a padded alligator strap. I'm not a fan of stainless steel bracelets but if you are, Burberry also has the choice.
The ad campaign, also out today, looks absolutely stunning. It was shot by Mario Testino and it features British musician Rob Pryor and art dealer Harry Scrymgeour.
