Harry Styles wears Burberry to the Premiere of "One Direction: This is Us"

Yesterday evening London saw mobs of hysterical teenage (and slightly older) girls in pilgrimage to Leicester Square, where the premiere of the "One Direction: This is Us" film was going to take place. I must confess even I got a little excited when I heard the boys rehearse at the downstairs studio from my office. It's no secret that I am a big fan of Harry Styles' style – or Harry's Style, it's so confusing. And I knew that for such an occasion the signer would look his best.
For the premiere Harry donned a Burberry Prorsum heart-print shirt. You might remember we already saw Styles rocking this shirt back in February for his 19th birthday. This time he opted for the black version, which he paired with a slim tailored jacket also from Burberry. His signature black skinny jeans, battered leather belt and suede boots completed his look. And it looks like he's finally learnt that moving on from your 16-year-old hair style is the most important step a man takes growing up.

Derek Blasberg ♥'s Burberry

This morning I received my invite for Burberry's first menswear show in London, which takes place on Tuesday as part of the London Collections: Men. Needless to say, this is always one of my personal highlights, one of the best collections and always the best show.
Earlier this week Derek Blasberg Intagrammed a picture of him wearing that heart printed shirt we all want in our wardrobes this season. You might remember Harry styles was the first to wear it in public last February and, of course, I had already raved about it plenty both on my recap of the FW13 show and on the post of my visit to the showroom in Milan.
The shirt in question is now available to buy online at Burberry.com in blue (my favourite), burgundy and black. Get yours here.

A Closer Look at Burberry Prorsum F/W13

Today Christopher Bailey presented his latest fashion offering for Burberry in London. Even though it was the womenswear collection, the designer likes to give a few tastes of the menswear collection showed earlier this year. If, like me, the Burberry show today left you wanting more this post should help.
Back in January I visited the Burberry showroom in Milan to have a closer look at the new FW13 collection, one of my favourites together with SS09 and FW10. Together with the classic but beautifully modern outerwear – always Burberry's best – the brand introduced a few new trends for the new season. At the top of my list are the heart-printed items, which are fun, young and cool – so much so in fact that Harry Styles was the lucky one to first sport one of the shirts in public. My personal favourites were the v-neck jumpers closely followed by the ties. I could buy the entire selection. Another highlight were the basic polo shirts spiced up by leopard-printed heart motifs (I need one!).
Slightly less wearable but equally cool were the translucent trench coats and macs, which I absolutely loved and actually thought quite practical as they are 100% waterproof and perfect for the London weather.

If you fancy it, you can watch the Burberry Prorsum FW13 womenswear show here and see some of my snaps of the show on my Instagram account.






The other big trend of the collection were animal prints, which I found quite unexpected at Burberry. Loud as they can be, Bailey managed to include them in a very timeless chic manner, which made even the fully printed pony skin jackets feel like classics. The dashes of leopard and cheetah also made an appearance on pointy lace-up shoes, shirts, ties (!) and the new range of Burberry bags.

Fashion, Frankly

Harry Styles celebrates his 19th birthday wearing Burberry Prorsum

Harry Styles was out partying the weekend away celebrating his 19th birthday. The singer was spotted leaving a London club wearing one of the super cool heart-printed shirts from the Burberry Prorsum FW13 collection I posted about recently. Harry is the first to wear anything from the latest collection and, to be honest, no one could've rocked this shirt this well. Maybe we'll see him in one of the amazing skinny suits at the FW13 womenswear taking place in London this month.

Burberry Porsum F/W13: We ♥ Burberry Classics

The FW13 Burberry Prorsum collection was one of my favourites, together with SS09 and FW10. A viral email from Christopher Bailey sent before the show with subject 'I ♥ Classics' announced the new collection would be a celebration of Burberry classics and heritage outerwear.
Some critics have labelled the collection as predictable. The way I see it, Burberry has had such purpose and direction over the last few years that the last thing I expected was a turn to its most essential, and successful, roots. My favourite were, in fact, these allegedly more commercial pieces. The trench coats, overcoats and duffle coats were impeccable and strong – pieces to keep forever.
Bailey's twist for FW13 was the (unexpected) introduction of animal prints as full leopard printed pony skin overcoats but also quieter collar details I found elegant and humorous.
Having opened their first menswear-only store late last year Burberry put great strength in the tailoring. The silhouettes, slim and easy to wear and much after my own heart, were very in touch with the times and with the type of guy the Burberry customer should be.
The heart prints that closed the show were my personal favourite. There was something so modern and masculine about the suit shirts and v-neck jumpers. They will be, I'm sure, an instant hit.

Just as they have been doing lately, Burberry streamed their FW13 show online and on iPhones and iPads and held a special screening at their new Regent Street flagship store. Users around the world were also given the chance to purchase online pieces right off the runway for a week after the show.
Back in Milan, Greg James, Harry and Luke Treadaway were amongst the famous faces to grace the front row. They were joined by the dapper Tinie Tempah, who had his big London 2012 moment at the Olympics wearing Burberry.

Stay tuned for a closer look at the Burberry FW13 collection from the brand's Milan showroom.
