Christopher Bailey, chief creative officer of Burberry, and one of Great Britains best-known designers, collected last monday his MBE from Buckingham Palace. Bailey, 38, was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire in June this year, for his services to the fashion industry “This award also recognises the incredible team that I work with and it is a privilege to be a part of Burberry, a great British brand” Bailey said.
The recognitions are the latest in a long list of awards for the talented Yorkshireman. In 2004, Bailey received an honorary fellowship from the Royal College of Art, from where he graduated with an MA in 1994. He also holds honorary doctorates from the University of Westminster and the University of Huddersfield.
Burberry Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010
The Burberryshow was about ‘british town and country under British rain and sun’ according to the press release. That means lightweight trenches in waxed cotton, tissue weight nylon, paper leather and cashmere knits. The colors represented the weatherconditions: muddy, taupe and grey for a rainy day, bottle green, pastel hyacinth and pastel powder blue for those hazy summerdays. Bag of the season – as seen in other collections – is a canvas utility bag trimmed with leather. The collection was ok, but not as upbeat and cool as it used to be. And we’re desperately in need for surprising and daring clothes!
