I've been asked to start writing style posts about menswear, and so, here we go :)
After trawling through a myriad of AW 14/15 catwalks looking for a collection that I was instantly enamored by, I final fell upon the beauty that is Burberry Prorsum's collection. I mean, I just can't.
Set against the backdrop of Kensington Gardens, with crisp daylight flooding the catwalk, Burberry's collection is an ode to loose fitted tailoring. It is a perfect union of the sharp and the deeply casual. Models saunter down the catwalk hands in pockets, as their shirts and coats billow. But this casualness is strikingly offset by the collection's anchor: straight-cut, tailored trousers.
The catwalk begins with outfits that emanate brisk crisp November air - silk shirts and white net vests accented with vivid hand-painted scarves.
London is everywhere, with maps and landmarks as proud embellishments.
As the collection moves deeper into winter, long woolen scarves and blankets casually draped over shoulders make their appearance. Prints of autumnal leaves add another layer to the already textured outfits.
Sheepskin, leather, fur, woolen jumpers & trench coats are layered over bombastic silk shirts, in turn layered over net vests. As a final touch: the omnipresent silk scarf and it's effortless style.
The over-sized bags lend the walk a sense of purpose as well as added bursts of colour and textured notes.
This entire collection aches style and is an incredible source of inspiration for the coming cold months, for men & women alike. (I know I'm ridiculously keen for the vest/shirt/sheepskin combo, HOLLER)
Have a look at my highlights of the collection bellow, with details at the bottom (it was hard to narrow it down...) and if you want to watch the catwalk in it's entirety, click here.
