British Icon- Burberry 09 Fashion Show

Burberry Prorsum, Christopher Bailey, Milan, Burberry 09 Fashion Show

Modern nostalgia- Great British icons is Burberry Prorsum’s theme on Friday, Feb.27, in Milan. The arty intellectuals of the Bloomsbury group of the twenties and thirties was seen through in a continuation of the muted palette of browns and grays, the mood of isolation is emphasized by the music Adele’s Hometown Glory, Razorlight’s Wire to Wire and Duffy’s Distant Dreamer. It is definitely very poetic and inspiring.

Christopher Bailey's opinion on how fashion should respond to the times is succinct and businesslike: "It should have a point of view. Burberry’s is outerwear, and that's what I've worked on here, from the casual shell of a trench to luxe furs." So his Fall collection was rooted in the familiar.

Thick tights and lace-up rubber plat formed boots, crisp white shirts interspersed back-to-back tweed kilts, fisherman knit sweater dresses, layered up tulle shirts of black-on-white-on-plum, and shimmering brocades, which all show Burberry practical wistful and completely charming.

"I wanted something that wasn't, well, frivolous," said Bailey backstage. He did so. Christopher brought an etching of the Anglo aristocrat at auction and used the image in gauzy crepe dresses, the highlight of this rather sublime show.
