Burberry is celebrating their biker series this Valentines Day with their red sports watch and a variety of similar goods to buy for your valentine. Personally you don't need a special day to spoil the one you love, and if it's just you then why not do something for yourself today? Sushi, a movie, anything. But something. 

Burberry iPad covers

Burberry has released a line of iPad leather covers in Military Red, Plum (as photographed with me) and blue which are sold exclusively in the Burberry store in Cape Town. The iPad covers are only going to be available in stores globally in September.



I love how international High-End Brands, particularly the ones which started in the early 1900's, have made smart choices in keeping up with the times. If you're both fashion and mechanically minded then best you get yourself the designer iPad cover of your choice. Especially since every large retailer is offering it to you at such variety.

Ryan Gosling in Burberry

Featuring an array of who's-who's in Cannes this year, Ryan Gosling walked the Red Carpet with co-star Michelle Williams. Of course unlike most premieres, BLUE VALENTINE was set against the backdrop of yachts and indulgence in Palais Stephanie. It's no wonder that the mighty talented Gosling, 29, dressed in a perfectly tailored Burberry suit ended up taking off his bow-tie, and still looking like a million bucks, scoring major Man of the Cloth points!

Oscar MEN In 2010!

Robert Downey Jr. you took my breath away with this outfit. I KNEW it had to be Lanvin and my sources say it is. How could it not be? The bow-tie, the high-tops... it's perfection. I always thought that men got the short stick when it came to the Oscars and now I tell ya-- this is how it's done!



Tom Ford (dressed by Tom Ford as if there were any other choice) and Jake Gyllenhaal dressed by Burberry (as was Woody Harrelson, Ryan Seacrest, Anthony Mack and Guy Pierce). Both Beautiful Tuxedo's, I think Tom Ford's carnation adds a beautiful touch to an otherwise standard Tux. But notice the lapel is rounded and larger than Gyllenhaal's. Beautiful.



And then there was Sharlto Copley who we unfortunately didn't see on-stage. Luckily his ill-fitting South African flag tee's were not to be seen but he did ad a sweet little pin of our flag! I can't say I'm loving her dress though...

Menswear goes spotty: Leopard prints in 2010

The Fashion scene seems to be going further back for inspiration. For whatever reason they stopped at Animal prints and decided this would look cute. I'm still deciding. However I am, as I've divulged many times before, a huge Paul Smith fan (I follow him on twitter). He has released motorbike helmets before but these are super fun in a leopard spot. The helmet is only suitable for mopeds up to the speed of 125cc. It is finished with Paul Smiths signature logo featuring at the bottom of the helmet. It's quite similar to the Stephen Sprouse spot used for Louis Vuitton's stole craze which Hollywood is going mad for.




I personally wouldn't mind both of the above mentioned items however it might look odd, me driving around in my car with a yellow helmet on my head. But the trend has not ended with Smith-- both Fashion giants Burberry and Gucci have gone ahead with including the print in their very latest 2010 showings.



And of course, Africa thanks Keri Hilson for wearing a Leopard print jacket in the Soccer tribute video she recently shot with Akon. How nice of her! Flowers, someone quickly!

Another bewitching Burberry Ad Campaign

Take one rising child star, mix her in with the legend that is Mario Testino and add the creative director of the turn around brand of the last decade and you get this...

BURBERRY SPRING SUMMER 2010 ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN 

''This campaign celebrates our heritage and our timeless Burberry icons. The energy of the images and the dynamic cast reflect the different attitudes and expressions of the Burberry guy and girl."

Working once more with Emma Watson of Potter fame, the "classic and effortless beauty" as they call her. And we can see why because she is suited in front of the camera. But what interests us a little more was the decision to cast younger brother Alex as one of the brooding models alongside Matt Gilmour, Max Hurd and George Craig. Although the clothing is spectacular as usual the campaign does nestle a little closely to Burb-oring...

"We always talk about how much fun we have making these images and I wanted to capture some of the excitement that you feel on set when all these different creative attitudes and personalities come together. Mario has shot these as both stills and video so we can share some of that energy with a wider audience”.

Christopher Bailey, Burberry Chief Creative Officer

Robert Pattinson in Burberry

RPattz as he's more affectionately known these days is all over the place promoting what little part he has in New Moon. Photographed above at the David Letterman show wearing Burberry. Which is a popular brand for the cast because almost all of them have been spotted wearing Burberry in the last two weeks. Good idea if you ask me!

What's interesting with old Robert is his style. He's a big deal but he doesn't go around looking like a big deal. The suits are great, I'm just not sure about the creased, somewhat dirty looking T-shirt/suit combo below... The portrait tee would have been a better choice!

Burberry Spring Summer 2010 - Great success!

Emma Watson dressed in Burberry

Celebrities galore arrived at the Burberry Prorsum fashion show last night at the Rootstein Hopkins Parade Ground during London Fashion Week. It was this show stopper that got so much attention. How very Bewitching of Emma Watson. Usually we don't show womanswear on MOTC but this is exceptional. Insiders at the event told me how incredible the show was, Bailey surely pulled out all the stops on this one. Great job!

Burberry Love

Like I need another reason to love Burberry! I was most pleasantly surprised to receive a package from my friends at Burberry HQ in London. It's long and as soft as it looks and I can't wait for the weather to get cooler (even though it's mid-winter) to wear it. Grey, navy and black- perfect for any outfit you choose. Thank You Burberry! Made my day xoxo

Burberry Prorsum Spring 2010

MAN OF THE CLOTH PICKS: BURBERRY SPRING 2010

There are some things one naturally expects in life. Death, taxes and the classic soft lines and simplicity of Burberry design. Most of the show included midnight blue trousers paired with soft pastel hues of Burberry's own take on the straight jacket, or in this case jumper. The show included many of the signature looks but did however include some unexpected parka's and jackets in Primary Red, Yellow and Blue! Striking indeed. The second half of the show was far more riveting in my opinion. The leather rucksack is also particularly nice looking! My friends at Burberry will have to help me out with that one!

Girl of the cloth

I've been waiting to see Hermione as a Burberry spokesgirl, I always knew she would be hot on the fashion scene and Burberry was certainly the right choice for brand association. Plus I always love the campaigns Burberry release. One of those famous trench coats are big on my wishlist.

The new Burberry Autumn Winter 2009 advertising campaign featuring actress Emma Watson and was shot in the heart of Westminster, adjacent to the new Burberry Global Headquarters on Horseferry Road in London.
