Burberry<\/a> makes its London comeback with Christopher Bailey’s new, relaxed take on English style.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Christopher Bailey returned to London in that most quintessentially English of settings: the garden party. Or at least, a garden party marquee in Kensington Gardens. The inspirations, too, were quintessentially English: the vivid, zingy colours by way of David Hockney and the clothes – a looser, boho take on British preppiness – courtesy of Alan Bennett.<\/p>\n David Gandy, Tinie Tempah, Douglas Booth and Hugh Dancy eyed up the offering from the front row – you can imagine that this collection is the kind of thing you’d see them wear, and wear, and wear. Bailey’s was a relaxed, slouchier approach than previous seasons – not so much the cosmopolitan trench-clad Londoner as the English schoolboy gone on a trip to the seaside, though obviously clad in luxurious cashmere, silk and linen.<\/p>\n There were weatherproof cagoules, sou’westers (peaked sailing hats) and soft leather swim bags and duffles slung casually across the models’ shoulders. Gingham, florals and two-toned boaters all provided requisite pops of colour, with the chunky, rectangular sunglasses adding an extra touch (in true Burberry<\/a> 2.0 style, the latter was available to order from the Burberry website after the show). All in all, a graceful return to the London stage.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n MORE LONDON COLLECTIONS: MEN COVERAGE<\/strong>
