Last night, Burberry and GQ celebrated the festive season at the new Burberry Soho store with a cocktail event hosted by GQ editor-at-large Michael Hainey and his wife Brooke Hainey. The event was attended by over 100 guests including Christian Slater, Aaron Paul, Benjamin Walker, Sebastian Stan, Jamie Clayton, Fiona Byrne, Douglas Friedman, Eric Rutherford, Shiona Turini, Billy Porter and Ben Skervin.
Guests were invited to discover the brand's new Festive gifting collection including iconic Made-in-England heritage trench coats, Scottish-woven cashmere scarves, and the exclusive Limited Edition My Burberry Eau de Parfum fragrance. The event coincides with the recent launch of the brand’s 2015 festive campaign earlier this month, which celebrates the 15th anniversary of Billy Elliot with an all-British cast of Burberry family members.
A percentage of the evening’s proceeds will be donated to 826NYC, a non-profit organization based in Brooklyn.
