What brand comes to mind when you think tartan or plaid? A brand knows they have really made it into the fashion mainstream when people will pay over $200 for a scarf with their signature plaid.

Thomas Burberry created the Burberry brand in 1856, opening a small store in Hampshire, England. Even though the world-renowned brand celebrated its 150 years in 2006, I still personally love Burberry Prorsum and how the designs are so simple and classic. Everyone can wear Burberry, both men and women and even children. They design coats, hats, scarves, perfume, watches, skirts, pants, shoes, eyewear and umbrellas; pretty much everything. I always get excited to see the latest styles Burberry comes out with each season. The way each outfit is accessorized is why I love fashion.

Burberry's re-vibrancy onto the fashion scene can be attributed to 34-year-old Christopher Bailey, who started designing for the company in May 2001. He has been described as a “breath of fresh air” from the fashion industry. In Harper's Bazaar magazine they compliment Bailey's presence since he started designing for the brand. According to the magazine, “Burberry is one of the biggest success stories in the business of fashion.” And Time magazine notes, “Bailey has witnessed a rise in revenue at Burberry—from $755 million to $1.3 billion—since he was appointed creative director.”

How do you know if the Burberry brand is right for you? A person who wears Burberry wants to be practical and causal, but like their clothes tailored. Those who wear Burberry want to be comfortable and fashionable, with a British spirit of causal elegance and effortless.

Burberry, I predict will never go out of fashion, for it is proven that their tailored clothing lasts through all the fads fashion evolution can go through. It is the perfect mixture for sCanadians, because we can get our money's worth, be warm and be able to wear the garment to more than one occasion.

You can wear the Burberry designs to work in the morning and then out to dinner in the evening. The tailored-perfect pieces are suitable for any event and are never too flashy for everyone's daily lifestyles.

Where can you buy Burberry? I am sorry to say probably the closest official store is Michigan or New York. Don't get me wrong, there are Burberry pieces scattered around in Toronto and even a small selection at “Fisher and Company” downtown in London.

According to the brand, it aims to represent those who are comfortable in their own unique style and don't take themselves too seriously, and of coarse they have to have a love for fashion.
