Charlotte Benson

It’s no secret that here at Elite HQ we have a serious fashion crush on Burberry... ever since Christopher Bailey took the reins steering this iconic English brand into the mega label it is today we’ve been hooked! SO when it comes to showcasing the best of our British new faces no other brand would do and with the support from online extraordinaire the Fashion Spot our girls donned those covetable shearling boots and aviator jackets to produce this stunning editorial. For the full album make sure you check out our Facebook page...and start that fashion wishlist!
