Coolest Best Friends.

Mentioned in my last post for their modelling of the black/metal dresses in Burberry's Fall 2013, Karlie Kloss and Cara Delevigne have been on everyone's radar for awhile, but they are EVERYWHERE this fashion week(s).

Karlie is 20 and hails from Chicago. She used to be a ballerina, and recently chopped all her hair off which is kind of cool, and takes balls when your income is based on how you look!

Cara is also 20 and British. She and her sisters are society girls in the UK (google Delevigne sisters at your own peril - that family is stunning), and she is actually 5"9, which is crazy because she looks like a midget next to Karlie!

These two always seem to be having a ball, as you do when you're 20 and making squillions of dollars and hanging out with fashion people. They also did a version of the Harlem Shake with Jourdan Dunn, which makes for very entertaining watching.

Point being, if I was going to have two model friends, I'd want these two. Not above looking like idiots, always pulling fun stunts backstage and generally out for a good time! Love it.

Burberry is in love.

Have had lots of fun recently trawling through the collections for Fall 2013. Burberry are one of my favourites, with Christopher Bailey naming his collection 'Trench Kisses.' Too cute.

I didn't love the heavy use of rubber (hence why there's not much in these images), but it was okay when used sparingly, or in my favourite colour. Loved the animal prints but couldn't stand the kitten heels! There is no shoe LESS flattering than a kitten heel. Fine on models, not okay on mere mortals. 

The metal necklines on plain back dresses were very simple/futuristic, which I liked (and it didn't hurt that Karlie and Cara were the ones wearing them!).

Favourite looks below, enjoy!

PS. Found this gem on fashionologie.com, explaining the name of the show! 
“Trench Kisses, A Collection of Classics and Christine Keeler.” Keeler was the attractively tousled early-sixties good-time girl who helped to topple Britain’s Conservative government of the time, following the revelation of her simultaneous liaisons with a cabinet minister, a drug dealer—and a Russian spy. “I liked the idea of this very established, classic heritage world meeting a sassy, sweet, sexy, subversive world,” Bailey explained backstage.
