Burberry Prorsum Pre Fall 2015

Burberry Prorsum Pre Fall 2015

Burberry's Christopher Bailey produced a charismatic Pre Fall 2015 collection enriched with grandeur and vivacity. This collection revolved around the hallmark Burberry coat and leather moto jacket. The signature trench was virtually abolished with Julia Schurig modelling a single updated version in brindle suede complete with tribal embellished yoke and collar. A cashmere, fringed camouflage scarf in shades of dove grey, sand and mocha complemented the earthy tones featured on the trench.

A sloping shouldered, boxy, blanket wrap, cropped aviator jacket was a voluminous addition. The shearling collar brought an energised cool factor to the mix. A ribbed, scoop neck knit in the shade of buff was paired to 7/8 tailored narrow trousers in ink. The look was accessorised with a free flowing, khaki camo scarf, racy leather stiletto peep toe ankle boots and a crocodile and python mini duffle bag complete with shoulder strap. A heavenly textural delight offset by gold hardware.

A shaggy shearling coat in burnt toffee was an absolute standout, generously cut with 3/4 sleeve detail twinned to a caramel fudge, suede bowling bag with gold chain handle and staple ebony trousers.

Release your inner wild child with a bold leopard print woollen overcoat. A poetic, collarless, button down bib, lace applique tea party dress with drop waist detail, reminiscent of 'Picnic at Hanging Rock' was twinned to the jacket. Opaque raven, ribbed stockings and stretch suede, flat, over the knee boots completed the look. A black pebbled, leather mini duffle bag with bow detail finalised the look.

A dainty, clover print flourished on a navy, silk georgette dress. Features included a plunge v-neck, sheer long sleeves, navy opaque geometric bust and torso panelling creating a trompe loeil effect. The drop waist revealed a romantic double layer, flounce hem falling mid thigh. The clover print continued to star on a round neck, short sleeve, clover strip, transparent mesh, form fitting mini dress. A dark chocolate velvet bow belt attenuated the waist adding innocence to the provocative number.

An oversized Aztec inspired blanket coat in indigo, teal and cloud fell above the knee and was worn with pure insouciance. The tribal design paired to the staple camo scarf added nomadic, globetrotter qualities to the mix.

A pileous coat reminiscent of Scottish Highland cattle exuded rustic, deconstructed glamour. Colossal sized horn buttons graced the coat which brimmed with finesse. A basic scoop neck tee was layered to a black knit and quintessential slimline trousers.

For the rebellious at heart- a cropped, shrunken leather moto jacket complete with leopard collar and multiple zip pockets. This jacket is an absolute must-have! Paired to an ebony, lace shift dress this was an enticing combination of masculinity versus femininity.

A buttermilk and indigo textural shearling bag with mahogany leather trimmings created another dimension to the Gothic glam look.

Another dapper collection from Mr Bailey replete with gusto and fashion forward bravado.
