Burberry FW 2024 at London Fashion Week: Our Favourite Looks
Daniel Lee has unveiled his third collection as creative director of Burberry, this time during London Fashion Week.
We believe that Burberry Winter 2024 collection is Daniel’s best collection for the English Fashion House so far and here are our favourite looks:
Constructs of Desire

Constructs of Desire
by Alex Charovas
In the series "Constructs of Desire," my lens delves into the intricate interplay of body language, gender, and sexuality, inspired by the spirited debates ignited by Cameron and Kulick's (2003) groundbreaking work, "Language and Sexuality." This collection captures a fusion of analogue black and white and colour photography, accentuated by light leaks and a vintage aesthetic. The title itself, "Constructs of Desire," nods to the multifaceted nature of desire explored within the images.
Cameron and Kulick expanded the study of desire beyond mere sexuality, introducing the concept of ontological desire—an individual's yearning to embody or emulate qualities intrinsic to a specific identity. In the context of masculinity, this desire extends beyond societal constraints, revealing a compelling exploration of self-construction within cultural discourses.
Drawing inspiration from Stephen Whitehead's (2002) discourse on masculine ontology, the series navigates the pursuit of being and becoming masculine through performative acts. Masculinity, viewed as a social phenomenon, unfolds as a constant engagement in discursive practices that suggest and reinforce the desired identity. Through a lens of cultural discourses, the desire to construct and validate one's masculine self becomes a focal point.
The visual narratives within "Constructs of Desire" transcend traditional gender norms, as a physically powerful yet vulnerably posed male model challenges preconceptions. Portraits capture not only the details of a well-defined physique but also the adoption of feminine poses, emphasising the performative nature of desire, both ontological and interpersonal.
"Constructs of Desire" invites viewers to contemplate the multifaceted dimensions of desire, masculinity, and identity. Through a visual journey, this series challenges conventional norms, encouraging a deeper understanding of the performative acts that shape and express desire within the complex interplay of body language, gender, and sexuality.
The GUCCI COSMOS Exhibition is coming to London

We are addicted to RUSH by Troye Sivan
they said "Troye Sivan has just released his new song “Rush,” a title meant to invoke both the feeling of poppers and dancing with someone hot, along with an accompanying music video bursting with gay smut.”
we say, Troye has released the song of summer 2023!! RUSH has some of the most authentic disco influences and its videoclip serves the most fun summer party vibes ever.
The Australian singer released the raunchy new music video for his hot summer track RUSH two days ago, along with the equally sexy cover for his upcoming album Something To Give Each Other.

XP1 are the shades you wanted this summer.

The base consists of a flexible, lightweight thermoplastic, which gives it the desired, futuristic cat-eye shape. The detail that sets this eyewear apart is the cut-out daggers on the nylon lenses.

Edward Crutchley SS23 at London Fashion Week
We have seen him working with Kim Jones for many years, at Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior and now Fendi couture. Edward Crutchley is probably one of the luxury fashion industry’s leading experts in fabric sourcing and development.
For his Spring Summer 2023 collection, he took inspiration from the greek mythology and the ancient Greek sea-god Proteus. “Even though it’s about ancient Greek mythology, there are no references. We’re not seeing a toga coming down the runway,” he stated.
The signs are strong though, and his promotional images were given the right message. The Greek Marbles and Sculptures will return to Greece!
Edward has also collaborated with ROKER shoes for that show and WE LOVE the extra edginess they add to his looks.
Check out his ‘boys looks’ below : Super sexy, unisex, playful.

DIOR Men Pre-Fall 2022: Watch the London show (Video)
Kim Jones brought a youthquake to London with an exhibition and runway show inspired by Jack Kerouac and the Beat Generation of writers.
Kim Jones brought an American spirit of freedom, the rebellious energy of youth culture — and the Brits’ knack for offbeat fashion — to the Dior men’s runway at Kensington Olympia in west London on Thursday night.
It was the first time since 2003 that Jones has staged a show in his home country, and he returned with a vengeance. He presented an eclectic pre-fall collection, followed by a massive, champagne-fuelled party — topped off with a surprise performance by Grace Jones.
