Milan Burberry's British Aristocratic Chic
By Godfrey Deeny
I first really became aware of Lord Snowdon when the UK press began running photos of him larking about in his workers cap, looking very dapper on a yacht with his wife, Princess Margaret, on a South Seas cruise.
The tabloids and the broadsheets all loved to mock the royal couple for their self-indulgence and many vacations. Me, I just felt jealous that they were living the sort of life I felt I fully deserved. Christopher Bailey, the creative director of Burberry, evidently shared that sentiment. Snowden, David Hicks and Lord Lichfield, three differing British aristocrats, were the inspiration for the collection he presented Sunday in Milan, easily the best show of the day.
Most of the clothes harked backed to the halcyon moment when modern pop culture and classic British style combined to create a new idea of what was cool. Bailey opened with the Burberry iconic garment, the trench, but revamped every time with a spirit that seemd to say Raymond Chandler meets Cambridge aesthete. Composed of stiff canvas or butter soft leathers, they all looked great
Bailey certainly has a rich imaginaiton: he showed super snug cardigans in colors more associated with club ties, re-invented the golf shoe with a tasseled patent leather loafer and caused a fair few smiles with the some naive flower power prints on micro shorts and pants. The unbottoned workers cap worn by one third of the models was the clearest reference to Snowden. One could recall him cocking a snoot from off a long yacht at a paparazzi lens.
Bailey used a Hicksian faux cable print throughout the show, spectacularly in a patchwork shirt, more descreetly as a collar trim of the shirt he wore to take his bow. The applause was almost deafening. In typically hyper professional fashion, the show was staged in a air conditioned runway space in the Palazzo Serbelloni, where a huge cover was pulled off the tent’s perspex roof minutes before the show began, in order to keep the blistering Milan sun out.
Even the runway was classy – 40,000 square feet of putty-colored travertine stone, that recalled my own version of Snowden’s self indulgence as a terrace hopping foreign correspondent in early eighties Rome.
“I wanted something that was the color of a trench, and this stone is,” smiled Bailey, whose latest men’s show underlined not just his skill and imagination, but also, arguably, his greatest strength. This guy never overplays a hand.

not my tastes but it is a nice collection
indeed, uber cool setting , thanks again MrDale 
Well, now that the vogue photos are up i would like to say that Im surprised at how wondefully basic this collection is. Tim Blanks said:"Christopher Bailey finally did it. He showed a traditional Burberry trench, not cropped or colored or fiddled with in any way. What's more, he draped it over the shoulders of a model clad in a navy-blue suit, with smartly patterned shirt and tie. Thus did Bailey well and truly and, yes, unambiguously embrace the heritage of the house he has helped transform into a billion-dollar business."
This may be a bit hot-headed, but without seeing the half of them, this collection may turn out to be one of the best. I mean, I want everything (I cant afford anything of course), and as a business this is any fashion label's goal. To make something so painfully desirable. The knits are so smart, and everything is so..neat.

The entire collection's up on men.style.com now. Looking very sharp (although I'm liking the top half of his silhouette better than the bottom), and the color palette is delicious:
I guess if Chris Bailey has his way, all you boys will be sporting scarves every day next spring....
...and little man-bags.

coming to the conclusion that I don't understand mens fashion. I really don't see what is nice about this (apart from one pair of tousers) yet I like prorsum for women. Again I have a real problem with the look of the models.......

wow...droogist i really love the second to last jacket in post #49..the tannish one...wow..it's amazing!
i like this collection..i think it's really clean, sleek, not too over-done..like i can actually see guys wearing this or at least something like it...and i wouldn't think, wow, they're really trying here. it seems natural, which is something i really love about certain lines. i like the colors, the prints, the coats/jackets
woot i even like those mustard trousers.
thanks so much for posting, everyone!

i love (thin) guys in cardigans...
they styling is very prada/miu miu...but so is every other collection, i love the jackets/coats/shirts, there are a few odd pants in there. Even though i am all for the man-bag, it detracts from a few of the looks...but the (luella bartley-esque?) duffle bags are very nice.
i also noticed how perfectly groomed the men are, they almost dont look human!

Well.... I haven't been interested in fashion for that long, but Bailey is my fave designer... no competition. I love how he's working with colors.
I have looked att ALL collections at Firstview and some other major sites. I'm usually mostly interested in the models, I confess... I'm such a dork
hehe... But Burberry men's collection for fw 05 totally blew me away. I'm not kidding. If you ever need something to describe me, just look at that collection. I also love the ss 05 collection. So. I'm biased. But, I truly like this a lot. If I was a man... DUDE... I would freaking borrow money from my parents to buy some stuff in here. Like the jacket that lots of others like (the one that Boris is wearing.. I think he's the third guy in the show, heh).
I have to say, though, that I generally like fw collections much more... so, I'm not supa dupa impressed
but it does look good on runway. Not sure how it would actually look IRL, if you saw someone in the street wearing this.
Aaaaanyways, here are some of my faves (pics from Firstview)... Sorry if they were posted before.
the pants...
...
the pants dude!
jacket...
....
I'm looking forward to the fw collection more, though... as I'm into rich colors.... or, more colors... look at the fw 05 collection to see what I mean.
