Both the Union Jack and the Beckham clan were well represented at the garden party thrown by Christopher Bailey and Burberry at Griffith Observatory on Thursday, April 16. The evening, which drew Naomi Campbell, Cara Delevingne, Elton John, Anna Wintour, Suki Waterhouse, Jamie Hince, Jason Stratham, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, brought what Bailey called a “celebration of Britishness” to the mountains above Los Feliz. The London-based brand relocated its Los Angeles boutique from Wilshire to Rodeo Drive in February, and Bailey clearly felt the move called for some serious pomp and circumstance. As the sun set, guests passed through wrought iron gates and tall hedges into a garden party before filing into a show space built in front of the observatory for the evening.
Bailey brought his fall 2015 collections for men and women to show, as well as such models as Campbell, Jordan Dunn, Sam Rollinson, Charlotte Wiggins, and George Barnett. Bailey also flew in Tom Odell, Clare Maguire, George Ezra, and Benjamin Clementine to perform tunes including The Animals’ hit, “The House of the Rising Sun” as models walked in the ’70s-inspired designs. The Late Late Show host James Corden also managed to strut down the catwalk at the conclusion of the show, inviting guests out to the observatory lawn for drills performed by 19 First Battalion Grenadier Guards. As David, Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper Beckham looked on, the digital projections covered the observatory in the Union Jack flag followed by the Stars and Stripes. Afterward, the glittering lights of Los Angeles drew Instagramers and star gazers alike. With the help of a telescope, they could even locate Rodeo Drive; without one, Orion shown in the sky overhead.
