Considering that it is the week of “08-08-08,” it was only fitting that we mention fashion’s marriage to sports. Forbes writes a brief commentary on the connection between the fashion world and the Olympic games.

Burberry Focuses on Men’s Collection
“Men’s has been a huge focus this year, globally. It’s almost a relaunch,” said Bailey, in a conversation ranging from the high fashion of Burberry Prorsum to the tailored world of Burberry London Collection and the casual flavor of Burberry London Lifestyle.
“We’ve figured out all of our manufacturing. I’m confident we have the right make and craftsmanship now, which is so important in men’s wear, and we’ve figured out the distribution and cleaned up all the past licenses. Our new ad campaign for fall has a big men’s emphasis as well,” Bailey said.
