The Burberry runway show brought London Fashion Week to a close in a blaze of, well, Burberry, with designer Christopher Bailey trotting out the female version of the designs he showed for men in Milan last month: military coats and flying jackets majoring in sheepskin with ruched dresses substituting for suits, and thigh-high boots with stiletto heels instead of combat boots. Bustle, bustle went the fashion crowd around the first row of actresses still hanging about after the BAFTA awards: Kate Hudson in green sequins; Mia Wasikowska (of Alice in Wonderland) and Claire Danes in beige; Mary-Kate Olsen in Anna Wintour–style sunglasses; and a bloodless-looking Kristen Stewart rebelliously jiggling her feet out of time with the music.
Two of the girls—Stewart and Wasikowska—waved, which was a relief considering the recent controversy over their all-white Vanity Fair Hollywood cover. I was thinking I might be able to make a clean exit when celebrity photographer Mario Testino rushed over screeching, “You’re so black!” I had just come from a photo shoot in Hawaii, so this was fairly correct. “Yes, well, you can be black and still work for Condé Nast,” I said as Anna Wintour smiled.
