The drizzle in New York this morning was perfect for a live 3D screening of Burberry Prorsum’s Fall 2010 show in London. Across the pond, it was raining as well. It was as if Christopher Bailey, Burberry’s chief creative officer, was playing God and indeed all eyes were on Burberry as it took fashion’s technological innovations to new heights. Besides staging the live catwalk showing of its fall 2010 women’s Burberry Prorsum also organized screenings in five other cities – New York, Tokyo, Paris, Dubai and Los Angeles.

“Strong and sexy — but protective and back to our history,” Mr. Bailey said backstage while celebrities from Mary-Kate Olsen to Kristen Stewart lined up to join his fashion army. Fittingly the rain falling outside reminded the audience of Burberry’s waterproof tradition.

CHRISTOPHER BAILEY AT BARNEY’S

March 18th, 2009 by HFL Staff

WHILE American designers gathered in force ten blocks south to toast the 2009 CFDA Awards nominations on Monday evening, Barney’s was paying tribute to British design with a swinging cocktail party in honor of Christopher Bailey and his spring/summer 2009 Burberry Prorsum menswear collection.

Also on hand in the third floor men’s department was a motley assortment of New York’s hippest, including Tara Subkoff, Mary-Kate Olsen and her Influence co-writer Derek Blasberg, stylist Keegan Singh, Paper magazine columnist, Mickey Boardman (aka, Mr. Mickey), Barneys’ own Simon Doonan and Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick.
