Burberry is always know as one of the biggest shows to look out for at London Fashion week. Their last LFW apperance was sure to be one of the most spectacular ending in true London style with umbrellas was in my mind a artistic site and yesterdays show was no difference. From the start where they delicately unveils the glass rooftop to let the natural like in was wonderful.
The collection itself was beautiful and the use of bright colours and metallics I think allowed the collection to stand out. The use of corset, capes and Burberry's oh so famous trench made the collection sleek, chic and sexy. As Bailey described this collection as "a little bit sassier, a little bit sexier, and a little bit more joyful". Inspired by a 100 year-old image of Burberry corsets and capes from its archive, plus the "very British glamour" of Norman Parkinson, its first look was a dramatic cream cloak worn over a saucy-for-Burberry satin basque. Another thing I found interesting was the styling in how the models hair was tucked into the garments, which I thought was uniquely cool actually.
The trench coat is to Burberry what the iPhone is to Apple. And here, as every season, it was remixed, ramped-up, and presented to buyers anew. Burberry's 2013 trenches included some fantastically rich, deeply coloured lace versions, and a fuchsia to midnight blue kaleidoscope of satin varieties. Yet more were treated to glint metallically in a sweetshop palette of almost sickly pink and limes. Colour-blocking, peplums, some bird-of-paradise feather dresses and even the revival of Burberry's signature check on the panels of metallic-trimmed handbags were other notable features in this remorselessly slick, visually overwhelming show.
