Burberry Prorsum Fall/Winter 2011 RTW
Last season, for Spring 2011, Christopher Bailey showed a nice collection, but it was a collection that strayed far from the history of Burberry. For Fall/Winter 2012, Bailey veered back towards the well-established vision of the label and showed a fairly good collection. It was nothing compared to his hugely successful Spring 2010 and Fall 2011 collections (my personal favourites to date), but it was true to Burberry style. To start, Bailey allowed the early sixties to shape his show, and as with any Burberry show, the focus was on the coats. There were bright colours, structured wide sleeves, drop waists, and a slight military influence:
Then there were several checkered coats...
...before Bailey transitioned to more neutral looks, once again reinventing the trenchcoat with fur accents and restructuring it in the silhouette established at the start of the collection:
Finally, in a contrast with the start of the show, snowy white coats and dresses were brought out. They were still structured, but prim bows were wrapped around many waists (reminding me very much of Prada and Miu Miu last Fall). Near the end, the checkered coats were then done in black and white.
When the models came out for one last round, every single one of them was dressed in a cropped clear raincoat with black rainboots. An overall very British and very Burberry kind of collection, and all at once practical, but stylish.

I'm usually very keen on burberry prorsum collection and I talk about is the burberry collection.. but not this time. I don't really like it to be honest.
ReplyDeleteI really like reading your fashion show reviews because it's the language that I can understand and appreciate. I always look forward to Burberry shows during London fashion week and this is one of my favorite collections too! The bright coats and the checkered coats are my favorites! The ending is always the best of all shows! xoxoxoxoo
ReplyDeleteBailey continues the "style concept" of the mens show and the bright colors, as you said, are just amazing especially the contrast between the "First part opf the show" and the "second one", that is rrally chic or Miu Miu style to quote you ;) I liek this show but I preferred to see more "evening dresses/minidress" and less jacket/casual coats....;)

Burberry is unmatchable in my eyes. I especially loved the second half of the show - the black and white was exquisite!! :)

Love Burberry,love the brights!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend XOXO
It took me a little while to get into the swing of this Burberry collection. But as the show progressed I started to enjoy it more. I love color. But for me I, surprise, surprise, just adored the simple white and checkered coats in black/white.
ReplyDeleteYes very traditional, very classic and very well done collection.

The black and white plaid is sweet!

I would wear and and all of these fabulous coats. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
ReplyDeleteThese clothes are very practical you're right, but honestly I like the Fall 2010 collection better. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteLove Burberry and their black and white pieces i think are their best. The first 4 are typical Burberry and i dont know sometimes they look gaudy (for the lack of a better word) to me especially the first 2 jackets even though the color is appealing for me. Great post Ang!!
ReplyDeletePS: always appreciate and look forward to your posts on blog. Thanks always Ang.
I would definitely agree with a lot of you that the black and white pieces were the best in the collection. Very fitting considering the icy whiteness of winter.
ReplyDelete@stylemefab: Actually, gaudy is quite an appropriate word for those first couple of looks. I too love the colour, but I would never choose them over the other looks. And thank you so much for your kind words!
