LFW S/S '11 - Burberry

If this winters jacket is all about the Aviator then next summer sees the turn of the Biker. Christopher Bailey has once again shaped the trend for outerwear next season with studs, spikes and padding all adding to the uber-fierce look. Skin tight black and flesh coloured leggings, as well as cute, ruched mini dresses completed the look. The illustrious trench was updated through padding and leather trims with acid wrap-around belts cinching the waist. Overall, this collection didn't have the same impact as his last...but hey, it is still sure to be a commercial success and major high street influence.

Vogue's Fashion's Night Out

Last night saw the fashionable and the famous descend on London's West End for Vogue's Fashion's Night Out. There were so many amazing parties and events across high street and designer stores that it made for some very ruthless decisions! The highlight for me though had to be the party at Burberry. To be sipping champagne, standing next to the must-have aviator jacket of the season, in the company of Alexandra Shulman and Christopher Bailey himself...it was like fashion heaven! The music was great, the canapes delicious, the champagne endless and everybody was just stunning! Can't wait to see what next year's event will bring. Check out some of the highlights below...
One Night Only played a great set, which saw lead singer George Craig walking in from the street, playing the guitar, decked out in Burberry finery. Fashion royalty Alexandra Shulman looks on from the crowd.
Matthew Williamson re-created a Moroccan Souk in his Bruton Street store, accompanied by live music and delicious cocktails.
Motown & Soul flowed through the Liberty's store...
...with a pop up Manolo Blahnik shoe shop taking centre stage on the ground floor. The man himself was on hand to sign purchases and even though I wasn't allowed a photo, it was enough just to catch a glimpse of the genius designer.
