London Collections: Men – Burberry Prorsum sends out a color-filled collection

Burberry creative director (and now also CEO) Christopher Bailey was inspired by 20th century British travel writer Bruce Chatwin for his latest men’s pieces.

Bailey sent out a collection featuring multicolored sneakers, denim shirts with pockets, a floppy twist on a campaign hat (worn by all the models), and book cover prints on bright t-shirts. Colors ranged from a parchment and saffron yellow, via reds and pinks to bright blues and vintage greens.

As usual it was a celeb-studded affair, and Burberry star Jourdan Dunn swapped her usual role and sat front row, with the brand also welcoming fellow model David Gandy, actor Sam Reid and « Harry Potter » star Tom Felton. 

It was all accompanied by a live soundtrack by up-and-coming singer-songwriter Benjamin Clementine who performed three songs while the models showed off the clothes.
