The Art of the Trench by Burberry
Burberry’s new website, Art of the Trench, is a beautiful example of embracing the company’s past with the present. The main page is a social photo album, with about 98% of the images provided from The Sartorialist Scott Schuman. While I love Schuman’s work the use of his work on this site doesn’t impress me all that much. What I like about is that it people add their own photos and add to the collection while people vote and share their favorite looks.
The feature I’m really found of though is the interactive history of the trench coat throughout the decades. It’s easy to miss, but if you look at the bottom of the page you will see a link that says “Story of the Trench.” From there you’ll be able to look at Burberry’s collections from the 1910’s to modern day.

Scott Sternberg has transitioned his muse from the French libraries of the 60’s to the bonfire beach parties of the 70’s. One of the more casual and relaxed collections to come from Band of Outsiders still has that great refinement and attitude that Sternberg has seemed to patent. Personally the Jacques Cousteau caps are not my favorite but headwear is hardly a deal breaker in any look.
Kate Moss for W Magazine

This is really another powerhouse collaboration for W magazine. For the September issue supermodel Kate Moss shows off one of my favorite collections of the year, Prada, and is beautifully photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot. It is a really great feature, (as is par for the course with W it seems), so go pick it up if you see on newsstands and click here to see the full article.
