British fashion giant Burberry Prorsum put the sparkle into London Fashion Week Monday, before Scottish designer Christopher Kane took his star-studded audience on a journey into the bizarre. Burberry chief executive Christopher Bailey said the collection, which will be drip fed into stores from June, was inspired by a “patchwork” of influences. “The collection is all the things that I love, a patchwork of all different things from the Mitford sisters to the military and a little bit of glam-rock,” Bailey told reporters back stage after the show, referring to six sisters who fascinated and scandalised British society of the 1930s.

Fashion designer Christopher Bailey has been getting into the festive spirit with his latest project — a Christmas tree for Claridge's hotel in London. The Burberry Chief Creative and Chief Executive Officer's “Claridge's Christmas Tree 2015” has been unveiled in the hotel lobby, and the result is in striking contrast to the art deco design of the venue. “It is so wonderful to see the tree in such an incredible setting as part of Claridge's seasonal celebrations, I hope that it helps to bring guests a sense of festive fun,” said Bailey.
