Binging on Burberry.

#Fashion

At the moment in London (my hometown), fashion week is upon us, that wonderful week full of countless celebrities and well respected fashionistas dressed head to toe in timeless trends sitting, sketching and smiling (pouting) at the invasion of stunning models taking to the runway in the biggest brands around.

This one week shapes the rest of the fashion season, in terms of what the big brands will be designing, what the high street shops will be selling, what the fashion and style bloggers will be admiring and therefore what all of us will be wearing.

Today I sat in Paris at work watching my twitter feed buzz with the most beautiful and inspirational images of the Burberry catwalk that took place this afternoon at Perks Fields, Kensington Gardens. I have never been so sad to be in Paris, watching Burberry nail the first day of LFW 2014.

The first Monday of fashion week is traditionally reserved for some of the major designer brands; Christopher Kane, Roksanda llincic and Erdem to name a few. The most buzz however, was circulating around the ever popular, ever classy British brand, Burberry.

Burberry always erects it runway in a custom built tent in Hyde Park during fashion week and tickets to get into this grotto of the best trends around are the most sought after around - it probably would be easier to get an invitation to the Royal Wedding.

The Burberry show was not only an iconic one but also an emotional and reflective one as it was the last show from the creative director Christopher Bailey and the Chief Executive Angela Ahrendts.

The models (fronted by the utterly gorgeous Cara Delevigne) strutted the runway in the A/W14  trends, swirly water colours, bohemian ponchos, painted scarf dresses, painted leather handbags and ofcourse the classic Burberry trenches but this time with handpainted florals.

Inspired by the Boho Bloomsbury set of 1920s London, the runway was like a romantic arcadia with a beautiful yet soft colour palette and beautiful sheer painted fabrics combined with winter furs and sheepskins… bliss.

 My style icons in attendance:

Felicity Jones

 Anna Wintour

 Cara Delevingne

My mouth is literally watering at the BEAUTIFUL clothes that I have just witnessed and partly at my Cara Delevigne eyebrow envy!

I might have to do a cheeky bit of retail therapy to recover...
