Burberry Celebrates Opening Of Flagship Store In Beijing With A Party Hosted By Christopher Bailey And Maggie Cheung!

Good news for all fashionistas/fashionistos based in the Chinese capital, Burberry has opened a huge (4,968 square foot) flagship store at the Jinbao Place in February 2009. To celebrate the store opening, a fabulous party is planned instore on 30 April 2009! And look who's hosting the party with ultra cute Christopher Bailey...our very own Asian superstar Maggie Cheung! I love her subdued elegance and allure. She is timeless in appeal.

Over 300 guests are expected to attend including Burberry Chief Executive Angela Ahrendts. (anyone reading who's invited...please take pics and email me!)

The event will mark Christopher Bailey’s second trip to China following a visit in April 2008 where he was honoured at a private dinner hosted by Editorial Director of Vogue China, Angelica Cheung, at private members club The China Club.

The Jinbao Place flagship store will showcase ready-to-wear for men and women from the Burberry Prorsum and Burberry London collections as well as a full assortment of accessories. There's no excuse now for our fellow asian fashion fans not to indulge in british chic from now on!

The new store reflects the new global Burberry store design concept designed and developed by Christopher Bailey.

China has come a long way to have mega flagship luxury retailers expanding into one of the fastest growing economies of the world!
