Romeo Beckham wears Burberry Prorsum to the Cirque du Soleil

Romeo Beckham is most definitely a style icon in the making. Looking at pictures of him from the last few years it's always seemed quite obvious that he had some flair, or at least an interest, for fashion. And so I was both surprised and chuffed when I found out he was one of the new faces for the SS13 Burberry campaign. Romeo and his brothers and dad also had a Burberry ensemble moment a few weeks ago, but this beats it.
Following the stylish steps of Tinie Tempah, Romeo has been one of the first to don Burberry Prorsum's amazing metallic varsity jackets. He chose to dazzle with his blue and green number to go see the Cirque du Soleil in London this weekend. Despite the slight size issue – he is 10 after all – he really rocked it.
I can't wait to see how he styles develops when he's in his late teens and after that but, saving moments like this, he should stick to living a normal (albeit stylish) boy life.

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.

A closer look at Burberry Prorsum SS13

While I was in Milan for the SS13 menswear shows the Burberry team were kind enough to have me over at their showroom to take a closer look at the collection I had seen on the runway the day before – see the full post here.

I was so happy to see my favourite pieces up close. The khaki and lilac satin jacket looked even more spectacular in the showroom. This is key item number 1 on my wishlist for SS13.
I was glad to find extra pieces such as scarves, swimsuits and ties featuring all the brilliantly cool prints shown on the catwalk. The shorts below and the full collection of ties are definitely a must-have! I must say that even though I have never been a big fan of colourful frames on sunglasses these Burberry metallic shades look great on. They are super light and slick – I have my eyes on the green ones!
As usual, the tailoring looked impeccable. My personal favourite was a subtle seersucker suit, which is perfect for the summer because it adds texture but it's super light and fresh.

Burberry Prorsum SS13: 'Come rain or come shine'

I generally don't like it when designers give their collections a name. But if there was ever someone to make an exception for, that's Christopher Bailey. He presented his latest menswear collection for Burberry Prorsum last Saturday in sizzling hot Milan. Just as the show was about to begin the ceiling of the venue was uncovered to reveal the Milanese sun shinning through onto the runway.
Bailey entitled his SS13 collection 'Come rain or come shine', which is so very apt for a brand whose heritage comes from the UK. Instead of going colour-crazy, Bailey mixed together slim-cut suits in the most beautiful textures that he mixed with foil-like metallic shirts in lilacs, oranges, blues and yellows layer under military-inspired jackets, a signature at Burberry.
The über-popular ikat prints from SS12, which many editors were sporting in Milan, better move over for the new season's. This time they were more geometric and colourful, more toned down than the metallic pieces but just as striking. They almost seemed like Férnand Léger's impressionistic take on a traditional indian printed silk. And along the way Bailey managed to make this summer's pyjama trend appealing to men by using these prints on chic shirt and shorts looks.
Instead of beige and neutral trench coats Burberry proposed bright outerwear – metallic leather varsity jackets, khaki and lilac metallic silk bombers, and shiny blue and printed mackintoshes. Whether it rains or not in London, the Burberry man will provide his own sunshine. And that's where the sunglasses come into the picture. Burberry suggests you also inject your shades with some metallic brightness. I, for one, can't wait to get the green ones!
