Burberry... Sweet & Tart

The other night, you may have seen my tweets as I listened to Burberry's Creative Director, Christopher Bailey, speak at the Oxford Union.

I can not tell you how much I enjoyed the evening. My heart was beating with excitement the entire time. This man had the vision to turn around the fading brand, gave it new life, and is still dreaming of ways to grow Burberry.

Christopher was smart, humble, and made it a point to encourage everyone in the room. As I sat there in the old library of the union where he chatted casually with the small group of students, I was in awe.

These amazing moments are happening all the time in Oxford. Every stereotype I could have imagined is real… including the one where he invited us to hang out with him in the Union Pub before he flew out to Milan late that evening.

Not a great picture, but I couldn't be prouder! Holy cow... I love it here!
