Burberry Prorsum Spring /Summer 2011
It's time to release your inner bike chick. This Spring / Summer 2011 saw Burberry draw inspiration from motor cross riders.
There were plenty of cropped, leather jackets on display in black, futuristic, metallic silver, white, lime green and neutral beige, rocking quilted, reinforced shoulders, perfect for a day at the track. Studs adorned trenches, Mr Bailey's take on Burberry's staple trench. These tough, luxe, jackets worked ever so well with super sexy, mini, cocktail dresses, with lots of leopard print in hues of purple, blue and citrus green.
Leather motor cross style leggings with reinforced knee pads looked sleek teamed with structured jackets, often drawn in with snakeskin, double buckle, waist cinchers.
Floaty, silk tiered, feminine dresses with raw hemlines, grazed models thighs. Zippers featured heavily on jackets, skinny pants, leggings and clutches.
This collection will appeal particularly to young women. On my ultimate wish list; python trench, leopard t-bar cocktail dress, and leather leggings. Oh if only I could afford such sheer luxury.
Accessories included patent leather shoulder bags in orange, black, and aqua. Clutches in aqua, mint, mustard yellow and snakeskin. Killer heels in croc and patent leather with pointy toes and stiletto heels. Better have good balance and co ordination as these 8 inch heels were reed thin.
I was never much of a Burberry fan but ever since Mr Christopher Bailey was appointed house designer I have loved his creative visions. He has injected youth into the house and put a fashion forward spin on all his collections.
