Christopher Bailey has to be undoubtedly, one of my cherished fashion designers at this moment in time. How could you not admire the man who gave one of Britain
I will be honest and say that choosing my favourite designer was somewhat challenging but after sifting through the endless amount of talented designers in the industry today, particularly those who lie very close to my heart: Vivienne Westwood, Christopher Kane, Sarah Brown and Mary Katrantzou, I couldn’t deny the deep admiration I feel for Christopher Bailey.
Since 2001, Bailey has transformed Burberry from being a somewhat tired brand to a hot fashion label now showcased at London Fashion Week. He took classic pieces like the trench and reinvented them into stunning pieces that had a significant impact when shown on the catwalk, in particular his collection from spring / summer 2010. I have genuinely never felt so much adoration for clothes as I did when I sat eagerly watching the live stream of that show earlier this year.
I find Bailey’s work truly inspirational and I admire how much work and talent he has injected into Burberry over the past nine years. Before he was crowned King at the brand, you would regard it as ‘chavtastic’ and no fashionista in her right mind would be caught dead near Burberry and its questionable tartan. Now though, I would give my right arm to be seated at one of his fashion shows.
Christopher Bailey is in my eyes, one of the best designers there is in the fashion industry today. I can’t describe the excitement I felt waiting on his autumn / winter 2010 collection this week and I know that every season this excitement will grow as he has shown that every season he can create a collection that overshadows the rest.
