It's no secret that the Burberry show is my highlight of any fashion week. Whether it's menswear or womenswear, time and time again Christopher Bailey and the team produce flawless collections. There's always a nod to current trends but it's always true to British-style and unique.
I've found it incredibly hard to condense the collection into a blogpost without including all the looks. Seriously, I haven't said this in a very long time but there wasn't a look I wouldn't wear, which is incredibly rare. So here's some of the looks I was drawn to most.
The Burberry Prorsum AW15 collection was not even slightly what I expected.
There's a hint of 70s but we're talking 60s, bohemian dreams. Fringing, leopard, garish boho prints and ethereal midi-dresses. Deep, earthy colours were the theme of the show - bold and unforgiving, there's nothing wishy-washy about this collection.
Let's start by talking about the camel trench-coat above shall we? Annoyingly, the picture doesn't do it justice but the entire back of the coat is drenched in fringing and in motion it pretty much stole the show for me. Thigh-high printed boots were a reoccurring theme throughout the show, with patchwork-esc prints, layers often overlapping which made you wonder if the boots ever ended. Texture, alongside prints [we'll get to that later] was key within the show. From short-fur coats, to shearling collars.
I'm obsessed with the structured tops in contrast to the printed boho midi skirts. It's took the boho vibe and threw the girl with flowers in her hair into the city and Burberry do that oh so well. Then, there's those heels with the drop front and fringing...so much darn fringing and I'm not complaining.
Empire lines ruled regardless of the style of the dress. I love the use of blue prints, added some freshness into the show compared to the darker more earthy colours. Print was an enormous part of the collection, completely in-your-face there was something about the collection that was totally free, whether it was the swinging of the fringing or the boldness of the colours - it's so reminiscent of the summer of love.
According to Burberry, next AW capes aren't going anywhere. This time, instead of the geometric print we've all grown used to, it's print and embellishments with fringing [duh].
Of course, it wouldn't be a Burberry collection without the infamous trench coat. This seasons twists included colour blocking, suede blue and grey combination floral prints and layered fringing in a camel colour.
I sat there at the end of the show and couldn't help but wonder what it must like to be Christopher Bailey and the creative team, knowing that they continue to produce the most incredible collections. Burberry really do set the pinnacle for British fashion and fashion in general.
I would never have thought of these looks for AW and now I don't want to wear anything else. I love that there's a little bit of Saint Laurent vibe to some of the pieces but all in all, it's iconic Burberry thinking.
Of course, you guys will know by the way I've spoken about Burberry in the past and this post, this collection has knocked all over fashion houses out of the water.
If this is what autumn/winter looks like, bring on the cold.
