Backstage: Burberry x Shanghai with Malaika Firth.


The distance between London and Shanghai was made smaller on Thursday night as Burberry celebrated the launch of its flagship Shanghai store, Burberry Kerry Centre, in true British style. Over 1,500 guests witnessed the show, which brought together fashion, music, dance, and a swoon-worthy fireworks display against a backdrop of London’s Regent Street merged with Shanghai’s skyline.

The show opened with George Ezra singing, “Did You Hear the Rain?” as Cara Delevingne floated above the crowd, doing her best Mary Poppins impression. Dancers made their way through routines brandishing iconic Burberry umbrellas and hand-painted Burberry Bloomsbury bags (now exclusively available on cn.Burberry.com). As Paloma Faith performed “Only Love Can Hurt Like This” models walked the runway wearing the Autumn/Winter 2014 Bloomsbury Girls collection with a particular emphasis on the iconic trench coat.
But before the night’s festivities began, British model Malaika Firth documented her day.
