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.
