Burberry Prorsum PF12
Cara Delevingne, a Bedales-educated Londoner, has shot to fashion fame as the supermodel that faces up the new Burberry campaign. Leggy, blonde and beautiful, the girl has a head-turningly interesting look, and she wears Burberry Prorsum’s Pre-Fall 2012 perfectly.
Christopher Bailey has, once again, come up with an accomplished collection, which comprises the inevitable— and yet, utterly desirable— overcoats and trench-coats, the best of which featured a grey spiral print. A fur-collared, grey tweed coat also stole the show, and the presentation also featured a smattering of new leather bags, shoes and accessories. The autumnal colours were sublime, and seemed to translate to the shapes which Bailey had sculpted.
Velvet and chiffon also opened up another dimension within the collection, inviting clients to experiment with tougher and softer elements in their outfits. The long evening dresses spoke of an age past, but also told us to choose pale colours for the evening. The Spring/Summer 2012 collection has just reached Net-a-Porter, so why don’t you have a look! I’ll be waiting with baited breath for Pre-Fall to arrive!
