E-fashion innovator Burberry gets Rodeo Drive Walk of Style award

The British came to Beverly Hills on Wednesday, when Burberry chief creative and chief executive officer Christopher Bailey accepted the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style Award on behalf of his brand.

“I’ve been with this company 16 years, and humanly they are an amazing company,” said famed photographer Mario Testino during his introduction of Bailey. (Testino, who has a home in Los Angeles, has been photographing Burberry's ad campaigns for years.) “When I first joined the company, to define the brand they looked to the past. And since the day that Christopher arrived, this company has been looking to the future.”

Indeed, Burberry, which is nearly 160 years old, has been on the forefront of digital innovation in particular. It was the first brand to live-stream a fashion show and the first to offer online ordering straight from the runway.

The ceremony honoring Burberry was attended by local business owners and City Council members, as well as guests including stylist Rachel Zoe, her husband...

Vogue Editor in Chief Anna Wintour knew that putting Kanye West and Kim Kardashian on the magazine cover this year would be controversial. "I think if we just remain deeply tasteful and just put deeply tasteful people on the cover, it would be a rather boring magazine! Nobody would talk about us. It’s very important that people do talk about us," she said in a talk Monday night at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
