Christopher Bailey heard the call of the wilds: the Scottish hillsides
abloom with heather, the green hills and dales of Yorkshire — and the
gritty streets of London. His outerwear-packed Burberry Prorsum
collection was all about cross-breeding country with city dressing —
taking cues from hunting, shooting and horse riding, and working them
into an urban wardrobe. More words and the full review from
WWD, after the jump.
“I love the idea of merging worlds — the
digital and physical worlds, the country and city,” said Bailey, who was
mobbed after the show by press, celebrities and the Korean music group
Girls’ Generation. “And I like taking familiar elements — the field
jacket, the quilted jacket, the trench — and respecting them but making
them modern.” The result was a lineup of glamorous hybrids in classic
men’s wear fabrics: There was a trenchcoat with a plaid wool peplum, a
cropped herringbone bomber jacket with a shearling lining and a quilted
velvet burgundy coat for evening.

Bailey borrowed the utilitarian
patch pockets of the classic shooting jacket, puffed them up and placed
them on Glen plaid coats with nipped waists. One tweed trench had puffy
pockets in a contrasting herringbone fabric, while a princess coat had
large, flat patch pockets similar to those on a Barbour jacket. To
accentuate that whiff of the countryside, there were jaunty cartoon owls
and dogs on knits and blouses, and ornamental animal heads on belt
buckles and umbrella handles.

And while outerwear may have played
a starring role — after all, it accounted for more than half of all the
brand’s apparel sold at retail last year — the supporting cast was out
in force, too. Bailey worked a Thirties chrysanthemum print into shift
dresses, one of which had bows at the shoulders instead of epaulets, and
gave his pencil skirt a spin with a fat, curving ruffle at the front.
The new accessory is the elasticized bow belt, shown in a variety of
colors, which cinched many a coat, jacket and dress.
