Spring 2014 Menswear: Burberry Prorsum


This is a parade of all the boys your mother would be delighted to greet - having ripped off their ridiculous glasses - when you bought them home. As Christopher Bailey is aware, you can’t go wrong with a tight suit, skinny tie and boat shoes. Espesh in a spring palette of apple green, sky blue - look at my knowledge of summery words - umm sheep-afterbirth fuschia and daisy print. Little does your mother know that under the sharp suit, innocent childlike colours and shiny, shiny shoes the Burberry man (is gay and) has more piercings and ridic tattoos* than the rest of us. That's why we're bringing him home.

*No the '182' on my finger isn't a tribute to the number of English who died in 9/11, nor is it my father's birthday or whatever other bullshit I'll try and sell ya. I went to see Blink 182 aged 14 and got a tad overexcited. Except that I was a decade on from being 14 and it was three months ago...

We probs didn’t need quite so many looks Christopher, fifty seems rather excessive. I’d got the point, and loved it, by look three. As usual there’s a lot here I want to wear which is wonderful as I’m only interested in Menswear that I can wear (which is all of it with these brows and my Hanson hair). A chalk-pink jacket and red quilted jumper in particular should definitely be mine. They’re both slightly reminiscent of 1950s bed jackets, an item I attempted to bring back a few years ago, to no avail. WHY PEOPLE? What’s wrong with padded floral polyester? Just you wait.

I really appreciated Elite Models filling my Instagram feed with the pretty faces of the countless boys in the show they represented. And Mr. Bailey I am endlessly greatful that you’re showing your love for London, that it is a city that can hold its own AND RISE ABOVE the big bullies of New York, Paris and Milan. Though I missed the presence of Romeo Beckham, megababe and star of last season's ad campaign. Pipe down at the back, wait a few years and you’ll see, you’ll allllllll see. My only problem with the show was that I need my dream man to have a puppy; I’m only a girl when it comes to puppies (and male models). Mr. Bailey, I’m seeing wearing tiny little pants to walk your puppy being a massive look for fall… Just a thought.
