I think that I’ve watched the Burberry Prorsum A/W 2012 womenswear show six times today. It is by far my favorite women’s collection of the Fall ’12 season, and was everything that I was looking forward to after a stellar men’s show in Milan last month.
To the hauntingly beautiful tune of Joan Armatrading’s It Could Have Been Better, Christopher Bailey sent out yet another stunning collection of equally beautiful pieces entitled, Town and Field. He wanted to blend those two worlds together and did so in a seemingly effortless way. From the very first bellow pocket panelled tweed trench coat to (my favorite) pencil skirts adorned with a dramatically structural ruffle, and the most gorgeous cinched riding jackets (adore!) to grace a runway in quite some time this was a collection of absolute creative perfection.
Christopher’s skills clearly excel in Burberry’s iconic platform, outerwear, but with this and recent past collections he has firmly placed Burberry as leader of the pack when it comes to the highly competitive world of accessories. And while the overall mood of the show could have been misconstrued as somber, there was sheer joy and youthful exuberance that popped from each piece to elevate ones spirit.
