On Monday I was lucky enough to attend the Menswear Burberry Show held at the lovely Kensington Gardens. The mood set for the show was very dark with deep brown curtains surrounding the interior, wooden floors and low lighting giving it a masculine yet sultry feel.
As the models began to walk the runway it was clear that the clothing was a mix of classic tailoring interjected with sporty casual wear. There was also the occasional splash of sequins adorning some of the garments.
Bomber jackets, duffel coats, puffer jackets, pea coats and of course oversized trench coats were favoured. Tall funnel necks, contrast piping, exposed zips and shank buttons were common details used throughout the collection. The colour palette for the collection consisted of pure blacks, wine reds, ochre yellows, burnt oranges, army greens and dark greys with bursts of canary yellow and true reds coming through. Checks, Tartans and Plaids were used on the garments and scarfs to bring the colour palette together.
Christopher Bailey also paid tribute to David Bowie by placing glitter on the faces of some of the models and one model also took it upon herself to write 'Bowie' on her hands and presented them as she walked down the runway.
It was an amazing collection and a very surreal and memorable experience :-)
