Burberry Prorsum - Runway Review

While Burberry’s technological advancements have been nothing short of a wonder—Monday’s show boasted the first-ever instant Tweetwalk show live from London—Christopher Bailey looked back to the age-old art of craftsmanship for spring, delivering a collection that continued the story where resort left off—filled with beading and crocheting and utilizing such materials as leather, wood and raffia. Bailey brilliantly married time-tested craft with digital speed.


Right from the get-go was a catwalk filled with outerwear, chock full of prints and plenty of jacquard and embellishment. In tune with the happy, joyous feel of the collection, Bailey sent out explosions of color like chrome yellow, sapphire blue, hawthorne red, indigo green and chocolate. Signature trenchcoats were present and accounted for—a slimmer silhouette was shown—boasting details like detachable collars, embellished bits of chunky wood and raffia. A fabulous peplum jacket was on tap, as was a cropped canopy parka and delightful ruched bow dress. Skirts, from military and knotted to high-waisted and knotted, also featured plenty jacquard, raffia and knit—a true cornucopia of textures and dimension.

Runway Review: Burberry Prorsum

by Americana Guest Blogger, Jim Shi

Protect. Explore. Inspire. Those three words are the touchstones on which Christopher Bailey built his “Heritage Biker” spring Burberry Prorsum collection. “Built?” you say. No other word quite sums the myriad of textures, fabrics and cuts that went into this dizzyingly dazzle of a collection. Shown at Burberry’s Horseferry Road headquarters in London and simultaneously beamed worldwide, not only was a significant chunk of the collection available for preorder immediately following the show, but the bags, in their shades of neon lime and turquoise, were an instant jolt of caffeine.

Not only was this show tightly edited, it was just plain tight. Witness the multiple variations on skintight leather biker leggings (get to the gym now) that were complemented by some ultrashort shirred or leopard-spot dresses. At the core Burberry will always remain an outerwear mainstay—and this collection certainly did not disappoint. Spring is all about a toughened up, macho female with a softer side. The outerwear zoomed (pardon the pun) in jackets with padded sleeves or leather-protective arms that was both fast paced and in your face. While the shoes are another story—they’ll take some time getting acclimated to—the impact of ultratight motorbike pants was a complete about turn from the highly tailored clothes, and in particular the gorgeous fall collection, that Bailey has worked so hard to achieve. The short trenches, made all the more desirable by their studs and spikes, were instant hits and are sure to be sell-outs (did you see the trench with the double row of buttons sewn on?). And for those women not quite ready to take a walk on that wild a side, well, there’s always a quilted jacket in sparkling silver leather.

Runway Review: Burberry Prorsum Bags

by Americana Guest Blogger, Jim Shi

While Christopher Bailey’s spring collection upped the wow factor when it came to details and second-skin pant options, his bags were noticeably shrunken—but still statement-making. They skimmed, grazed and gently caressed the body in an assortment of delicious colors—spearmint, beetroot, lime, opal and lipstick red—that left VIP front row guests, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Alexa Chung and Serena Williams, crooning for more. Whereas in past seasons there was an emphasis on the Burberry house check, for spring the brand’s iconic symbol came stitched in a much more subtle manner. The “Sling” bag is Burberry’s new bag du jour—and it comes available in a number of dizzying color and fabric combinations. Python! Patent! Bridle! Cross-body! Envelope clutch! You name it, Burberry’s got you covered. While the simple patent leather bags have an almost Mod feel, what with their monotone colors and simple shapes, my favorite has to be the bridal patent clutch. Bridle straps are stitched onto the bag in a dizzyingly intricate manner while high shine brass hardware has been infused with a hint of gold. The leather’s also been tanned, sealed and varnished to achieve that perfectly smooth surface texture. What’s more, and perhaps it’s due to the slightly less complicated construction of the bags, the prices are, dare I say, reasonable for its market.
