Thanks so much for bring this to our attention!
Here's a news article to go with that video:

http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/style/articles/2012-06/15/london-collections-benedict-cumberbatch-at-spencer-hart

It was a mystery to rival the ending of Sherlock: last night Nick Hart announced on Twitter that a mystery guest would be walking the brand's London Collections show this afternoon. After a flurry of speculation, Spencer Hart has announced that it will be genius detective, upcoming Star Trek 2 villain and GQ Man Of The Year Benedict Cumberbatch. Cumberbatch has long been a Hart fan (he last wore it to the TV BAFTAs and memorably at The Golden Globes) so it doesn't come as much of a surprise. Also walking will be Michelin-starred Pollen Street Social founder Jason Atherton. Check back on GQ.com tonight for all the pictures.

Now Sherlockians, what can we deduce from this?

We deduce that Benedict is in London somewhere at the moment.

I actually laughed my ass off when I read that he did a catwalk xD

But please, don't put him next to a woman so tall! He likes to take the precautions of short companions.

Ah yes Sherlock does!

But you have not observed. This is Benedict Cumberbatch; not Sherlock.

That the nicotine patches are not working so well

Yes, it was a JOKE

But seriously... they managed through the length of the robe and the height of the model to make this tall man look short. Don't do that.

Well, I'm sure the woman was wearing high heels, and he has no shoes or anything. I don't know why.

To me, he looks a bit strange with that hairdo

Well... ok, then. But still, I think that hairdo doesn't suit him very well

Yes, well it's hard to tell in these pics but he did have hair extensions at the front for the Star Trek filming. I hated it!
And he hair was darkened also.

**Posted by kazza474** June 16, 2012 9:46 am

omg, and now he's been to The Men London Collections at Corinthia Hotel London on June 15, 2012 in London, England.

Busy man; sort of. What a life!

Oh, this picture reminds me of my favourite Sherlock outfit: The black suit with black shirt in Scandal...

**Posted by kazza474** June 16, 2012 9:55 am

Yes, makes me wonder.
Will he ever wear a purple shirt again?

**Posted by kazza474** June 16, 2012 9:57 am

Back to the fashion parade though:
Good grief he looks sozzled (drunk) in this one.

**Posted by kazza474** June 16, 2012 10:00 am

OH look what The Sunday Times tweeted about this!

Guess it was faster typing that huh?

As far as I'm concerned: He can leave the purple shirt to John...

I don't like that hair either. It makes him look like a sleazy lounge lizard. Those are awesome photos though. I love this community here because everyone is so giving and brilliant and witty. Of course that is what you'd expect from 90% women Sorry, bad joke...love you virile manly guys too

Well he did say that getting the Dutch courage for doing the catwalk involved beers and fags.
