The Burlington Arcade hosts the Beadles’ Burlesque, a circus evening devoted to fashion curated by the Last Tuesday Society.  Watch acrobats weave among the rafters in sultry silks while showgirls flaunt their feathers to a fanfare played by a marching band.

Marvel at the Holy Dress, a puppet show housed within a single garment, as the historic arcade transforms into a couture carnival of performers dressed by Angels costumiers, with stilt walkers, a mechanical flower, a silhouette chair, cotton candy and fountains of velvet chocolate.

CHURCH’S “STRATFORD” A SYMBOL OF INNOVATION AND TRADITION

“Church’s”, the historic English luxury footwear brand founded in Northampton in 1873, owes its success not only to the excellence and quality of its materials and workmanship, but also, and above all, to its innovation.

This is the case with the “Stratford” model, expressly styled for the games. The model, available for men and women is characterized by certain extremely refined stylistic devices and innovations and by the skilled balancing of the juxtaposed colours. It will in fact be developed in 17 different chromatic variants with a fun alternation between the upper, the sole and the welt.

The typically informal design and the Goodyear Welted construction, since always the primary part of Church’s know-how, give the style an innovative and, at the same time sporty touch.

The “Stratford” style will be available in all the colour combinations Every single pair will be numbered, to underline the exclusivity of this project for the games.

Church’s was established in 1873 in Northampton and is a world leader in the manufacturing and distribution of high-end men’s and women’s footwear. Since 1999 it is part of the PRADA Group which now holds 100% of Church’s capital.

The Woolmark Company’s Cool Wool Campaign
In April 2012, the Woolmark Company re-launched its successful Cool Wool Campaign to manufacturers and trade press at Premiere Vision. The bespoke tailors of Savile Row have long supported the use of lighter weight Merino wool for Spring/Summer suiting and are pleased to showcase garments made in Cool Wool and cut especially for the inaugural London Collections: Men.

History
Bespoke tailors have traded in the square mile surrounding Savile Row for over 300 years. The craftsmen and women who continue to make the finest gentlemen’s requisites by hand in Mayfair, Piccadilly and St. James’s first began colonising this quarter of London in 1666 after the Great Fire of London when commerce migrated from the City of London to surround the courts of Whitehall and St. James’s Palace. The Burlington Arcade is a jewel of Regency architecture and Mayfair’s most elegant, historic shopping arcade.
