More or less one month ago I had the chance to live the Burberry world.
\nFor the opening of the new Womenswear store in via Montenapoleone I have chosen my favourite items from the Burberry A\/W 2012 collection designed by Christopher Bailey, wear them and have some photos taken from my \u201ctrusted photographer\u201d (in this case from my boyfriend\/\u201dpartner in crime\u201d Riccardo Pozzoli) in some iconic locations in Milan, my hometown.
\nYou saw the photos on the blog (find them here<\/a>) and I’m so happy to see how much you loved them.
\nWhat you don’t know (maybe some of you found out about it following my Instagram profile) is that I had the chance to interview one of my fashion heroes: Christopher Bailey, Burberry creative director.
\nGot back in Milan from Paris just in time (the late flight was making me miss this huge chance), I entered the room of the new store ready to interview him, feeling happy but also nervous. Why? Because Christopher Bailey has always given me the idea of being one of those positive characters in the fashion world: down to earth, creative, nice, full of energies and always smiling. My fear was to find in front of me a person who was different from my expectations.
\nWell, it was the opposite: after the twenty minutes we spent talking I was almost looking at him as a wise new friend, one of those friends you can learn a lot from and you’re so fascinated by. Someone who understood the power of the web before anyone else, that met the Burberry world thanks to his grandad’s trench coat and someone who loves talking about the Burberry Foundation he created.

\nThese are some photos of our meeting plus some backstage shots wearing Burberry around Milan.
\nEnjoy my Burberry experience, thanks so much Christopher Bailey and Burberry team for making this possible!<\/p>\n

Circa un mese fa ho avuto la possibilit\u00e0 di immergermi nel mondo Burberry.
\nIn onore dell\u2019apertura del nuovo store a Milano in via Montenapoleone mi \u00e8 stato chiesto di scegliere i miei look preferiti della collezione autunno\/inverno 2012 di Burberry disegnati da Christopher Bailey, indossarli e farli immortalare dal mio \u201cfotografo di fiducia\u201d (in questo caso il mio fidanzato\/\u201dpartner in crime\u201d Riccardo Pozzoli) in alcune location iconiche di Milano, mia citt\u00e0 d\u2019adozione.
\nLe foto le avete visto sul blog, (le trovate qui<\/a>) e sono entusiasta nel sapere che vi siano piaciute molto.
\nQuello che non sapete (alcuni di voi probabilmente hanno scoperto lo “scoop” sul mio profilo di Instagram) \u00e8 che il giorno del party di apertura dello store mi \u00e8 stata la possibilit\u00e0 di intervistare uno dei miei eroi nel mondo della moda: Christopher Bailey, direttore creativo di Burberry dal 2009 (ma legato al mondo Burberry dal 2001).
\nTornata appena in tempo dal mio viaggio a Parigi (l’aereo in ritardo mi ha fatto quasi perdere questa chance), sono entrata nella stanza del nuovo store pronta ad intervistarlo tremendamente felice ma anche agitata. Perch\u00e9? Perch\u00e9 Christopher Bailey mi ha sempre dato l’impressione di essere uno di quei personaggi veramente positivi della moda: alla mano, creativo, simpatico, sorridente, pieno di energie. La mia paura era quella di trovarmi di fronte ad un personaggio diverso dalle mie fantasie, e rimanerne in parte delusa.
\nBene, \u00e8 stato l’esatto contrario: dopo i venti minuti insieme a parlare mi sembrava di fare discorsi con un nuovo amico, uno di quegli amici saggi da cui sai di poter imparare molto, da cui rimani affascinata. Una persona che prima di tutti gli altri ha compreso il potere del web, che ha conosciuto Burberry grazie al trench coat del nonno e che si emoziona parlando della Burberry Foundation da lui creata.

\nQueste alcune foto del nostro incontro pi\u00f9 alcuni scatti di backstage indossando Burberry in giro per Milano.
\nEnjoy my Burberry experience, un grazie speciale a Christopher Bailey ed al team di Burberry per aver reso tutto questo possibile!<\/p>\n
