Burberry Prorsum Fall 2013

Burberry Prorsum Fall 2013

Designer Christopher Bailey of Burberry Prorsum produced a sexually charged display this fall season, married with lady like magnetism.

This fruition led to libidinous rubberised garments, kitsch cartoonish knitwear and the time honoured staple trench transmogrified yet again with panache.

Brit model Edie Campbell revealed the opening runway look which comprised of signature Burberry taupe trench, mushroom rubberised gun fold and sleeves, artillery inspired metal belt and decorous kitten heels which were vamped up in an exotic, leopard ponyskin. Demure versus siren, replete of bourgeois chic.

Incongruitous prints including an angora, leopard print knit paired with love heart emblazoned high waisted knickers and transparent pencil skirt were a juxtaposition of naughty and nice. A butter caramel, grommet infested baguette bag was tucked neatly into the palm of model Cara Delevigne.

Spells of fetishism were evident on garments including a two tonal, oxblood leather and rubber panelled pencil skirt twinned with contoured love heart print shirt complete with leather collar.

Military accents were found on trench coats and updated in a colour palette full of rich claret and textures including pebbled, patent leather.

Chunky, bouffant sleeved, ribbed knitwear in sumptuous butterscotch was paired with a panelled, animal print pencil skirt featuring alternating, inconspicuous leopard print versus bold, capacious leopard print.

A manifestation of cocoon coat arabesques were prominent on a gargantuan zebra and giraffe print silhouettes and a vermilion, minimalistic coat featuring metal cuff inserts accessorised with drawstring, ponyskin tote.

Fringed, leather grommets punctuated an oxblood a-line skirt paired with modern polo tee featuring epaulettes and diminutive chest pockets and a trench coat was transformed into a textural delight with avant garde qualities.

Cocktail wear included a mahogany bustier, scarf hemline complete with crossed leather halter straps and midi length skirt. Karlie Kloss modelled a ebony, strapless, 3/4 length dress with asymmetrical shoulder strap detail framing the neck.

A white, rubberised trench reminiscent of a raincoat was a tres chic wet weather gear addition. This look was paired with a cow hide pencil skirt and giraffe print turtleneck knitwear. 

Drawstring pouchettes were the star accessory of the collection. Available in a range of plaid, animal print, leather and grommet encrusted hardware.
