Burberry brought a touch of British flair to the city of Los Angeles, with a grand celebration of titled “London to Los Angeles,” held at the Griffith Observatory — The event coincided with the opening of Burberry’s shiny new four-storey store – one of the tallest on Rodeo Drive.
Fashion folk love a new discovery and it seems that Los Angeles is the latest, hottest happening. The city is undisputedly fast becoming the fifth fashion capital. Perhaps it started when Hedi Slimane set up his Saint Laurent office here, and really, who can blame him? (If you could, you would.) More recently, other designers have flocked here, too. Remember, Tom Ford bypassed the regular show calendar this season to present his autumn/winter 2015 collection in LA, while other brands are also drawn to the bright lights; Christian Dior was set to show its upcoming pre-collection here until Raf Simons caught wind of Chanel’s show plans in neighbouring Palm Springs (urging Simons to switch horses to Cannes). But never mind all of that, last night the city belonged to Burberry and its affable chief creative and chief executive officer, Christopher Bailey.
Friends of the brand, including the Beckham family, Naomi Campbell, Cara Delevingne, Suki Waterhouse and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and a whole host of Hollywood celebrities like Mila Kunis, January Jones, Rose Byrne, Kate Beckinsale, Anjelica Huston and Rachel Zoe, were also on hand to witness the grand showcase.
Guests discovered an English garden high in the Hollywood Hills, where British musicians performed as models walked the runway in designs from the A/W15 collections. The finale featured a performance by the First Battalion Grenadier Guards with a special guest appearance by James Corden, as the show space opened to reveal the Griffith Observatory.
