The presentation of Burberry’s Prorsum Womenswear Autumn Winter 2011 collection, which took place yesterday on February 21st at 4 pm, was streamed to its widest audience yet, live from a new venue in London’s Royal Park of Kensington Gardens.

Look out shoppers: Net-a-Porter.com finally is finally attached, and it seems serious. In February of this year, The NET-A-PORTER Group will launch the Jack to this women’s wear site’s Jill with Mr Porter. In the ten years that Net-a-Porter.com has been selling YSL, Chanel, Marni and other luxurious designers to well styled women, it has remained exclusive to ladies.

If you weren’t invited to the Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2011 womenswear runway show, don’t fret—the renowned brand’s Retail Theatre concept is just as, if not more, exciting. On September 21, Burberry invites loyal consumers to 25 of its flagship stores worldwide (luckily we have two—the 57th street and Soho locations) for an interactive online experience occurring simultaneous to the event.

Burberry is letting customers behind the shiny veneer of its Fall/Winter ad campaign. Usually the stuff of glossy magazine pages and fantasy-inducing dreams, Burberry has pulled the curtain back to reveal the philosophy and strategy behind its advertising, straight from the mouth of Creative Director Christopher Bailey. Burberry reveals the process through a documentary-style video with Bailey, and one that details the models, musicians and actors that make up the cast of the campaign (including model-turned-Megan Fox-replacement, Rosie Huntington Whiteley).
