The Bloor Street Burberry store opened up officially on Wednesday (though we popped in on the weekend to scope it out). The guest list included MTV’s Dan Levy and Jessi Cruickshank, Jeanne Beker and Heroes‘ Ali Larter, who reportedly beat a retreat soon after being snapped in her head-to-toe Burberry ensemble. Brit DJ and Burberry face Tom Guinness flew in from New York to spin tracks from The Kooks, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. The 9,000-square foot space is home to menswear, the Burberry London and Burberry Brit collections, as well as the full complement of accessories–shoes, bags, sunglasses, checked rainboots. On our weekend visit we made a beeline for the second floor to visit the Prorsum runway collection with its toasty tweeds, luscious suede trench coats and just-frayed-enough waffle-weave dresses.
