Fall 2012 Fashion Week: Burberry Prorsum

Burberry Prorsum: Merging Physical and Digital With a Global Audience

Burberry explored the process of digitalization as it celebrated British fashion with a global audience. Burberry, the inventors of the “Tweetwalk” show, partnered with Twitter to host an animated “Tweetwalk” live from the runway. Prior to models actually strutting the runway, followers were given the opportunity to view the collection from backstage. Smart move, being that Burberry is the most followed luxury brand on Twitter.

As for the Autumn/Winter 2012 womenswear lineup, we saw a plethora of what Burberry does best: coats. Paneled trench coats, cropped tailored bombers, draped blanket front coats, tiered peplum trench coats, cinched riding jackets neatly pulled in with a bow, and down-filled dress coats emerged in gorgeous shades of pebble, khaki, dark racing green, pewter, chartreuse, and burgundy.

The British countryside blossomed through rugby striped tees, draped blanket hem skirts and delicate shoulder bow dresses. Accessories popped with polished metal hardware (check out the gloves!) and tortoise shell detailing to create a look that was essentially refined, yet eclectic.

See the incredible full show on YouTube!

London Fashion Week Spring 2011: Antonio Berardi, Burberry Prorsum and Erdem

Erdem

After curating the Victoria and Albert Museum’s “Diaghilev and the Golden Age of the Ballets Russes, 1909-1929“ exhibition, Erdem Moralioglu weaved the wispy ethereal nature of ballet costumes right through his collection. Fluid and supple as the movements of the dancers themselves, the lace appliqué and Macbethian red on mini dresses and billowing floral maxis will only ground the designer’s status as the crown prince of delicate details.

Burberry Prorsum

It’s an art to stray skillfully from the foundation of an established line while still having critics see the history and the connection. Christopher Bailey’s models were hardly the plaid-toting Charlotte Yorks that Thomas Burberry went on to acquire as a fan base. Studded biker pants and fitted jackets made for sexpot pieces that seemed stolen off the set of a 2011 remake of The Avengers. The turquoise belts and lime green bags brought the black pants and tan jackets to life. Color blocking just took on a whole new meaning.

Antonio Berardi

After seasons of body-conscious silhouettes, designer Antonio Berardi pumped up the volume – literally – on his Spring 2011 show and presented charming dresses that had a bit of an edge. Simple bell detailing on slightly voluminous 50s dresses and skirts had a dainty sweetness to them without being sickly sweet. Some unfinished hems brought the modern-fairy-tale quality a bit closer to earth, yet Berardi’s body con fans are never excluded. Elegant floor-length dresses with plunging necklines and daring slits will do the body good.
