…how amazing was the Burberry Prorsum AW10 show? Christopher Bailey left me speechless/breathless/awed/amazed/etc. Basically I wasn’t breathing for a solid 30 seconds (probably not healthy). Burberry knows. how. to make. a damn. coat. That’s what it boils down to.
The first part of the show was an aviation-inspired theme, full of oversized, shearling-lined (OBSESSED), button-and-belt-detailed coats.
It then transitioned into more of a military theme with navy blazers adorned with gold buttons. Pants anyone? No thanks, says Burberry. Who needs them!
Of course it wouldn’t be a Burberry show without a trench here and there! Also, the level of shearling increased as the show progressed until, at the very end, there was an explosion of full-on shearling coats. Sigh.
We can’t forget to discuss the gorgeous shearling-lined, buckle boots in the last 2 images. Love. Love. Love. Christopher Bailey, you make beautiful, well-constructed, wearable, desirable clothes!
Also, if you didn’t get a chance to watch the Burberry show (which streamed LIVE on the internet) and have a spare 28 minutes and 45 seconds to devote to said explosion of shearling bliss, you must see it! Click on: http://live.burberry.com/. If you want to skip right to the show itself, go to minute 11:50. As an added bonus, if you look real hard, you can see Kristen Stewart (front row, obvs) bobbing her legs to the music and Mary-Kate (gasp!) lowering her ever-present sunglasses (once or twice) to get a more desirable view of the Burb coats.
