Everyone seems to go crazy over anything that Christopher Bailey does for Burberry. Personally, I think he is a bit overrated. I do love his work, but I think it is the CEOs who are the geniuses behind that company. This menswear collection has some fantastic pieces, it looks great. But the problem is, his boys always look the same, and I am bored of the skinny, greasy boys in tight pants. I want to see men wearing trousers, and I am sure that their customer does too.
I love…
leather epaulettes on a trench. But the leather pants suck.
gorgeous cable knits.
an amazing pea coat. That's what we go to Burberry for.
a fantastic blue coat with great worn leather sleeves.
I loathe…
a plain leather jacket from Burberry. I'd rather go to Harley Davidson for one of these, and save myself $1000.
mesh shirts for men.
the one thing worse than mesh shirts for men, sheer shirts for men.
a studded leather jacket eight seasons too late, and probably ten time the price of an authentic one.
