The Burberry Prorsum Fall '10 ready-to-wear collection is an amalgam of amazing outerwear and the perfect use of fresh fall colors. The jackets in the collection are all to die for- shearling with oversized collars, military trenches, classic fitted wool, parkas, and every hybrid thereof- Burberry has every occasion (and temperature) covered.I particularly enjoy the over-the-knee and thigh-high snakeskin boots accompanying many of the looks: the perfect mix of edge and sex appeal. The height of these boots are perfect when mixed with cute wool shorts and lacy feminine dresses, which are prominent in the collection.
After the show, Christopher Bailey gave his thoughts on the collection's origins "I was thinking of uniforms and cadet girls—but it all started when I looked at an aviator jacket in the archive. Then, as I started designing into it, I realized it could be as versatile as the trench—strong and sexy, masculine and feminine...And I really enjoyed it!"
It shows!
