Last year's SS11 collection was one of my favourites. It was all skinny leather trousers, animal prints, exposed zips, studs and killer heels. Without a doubt the studded trench was an all time fav of mine. The show ended with a shower of glitter which was then replicated at the AW11 show in Feb, where all the models were showered with snow!! AMAZING.
Needless to say I've been super excited to see what he's got up his sleeve this year. Not actually being there has also meant that I've been carefully following it online today (the power of the internet, eh!). The show was streamed live to all 8million of their facebook fans.
The Frow certainly didn't disappoint: Sienna Miller, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (too gorgeous for words), Andy Murray, Anna Wintour (not on the same row as Sienna though!), Kanye, Gemma Arterton, SamCam and Mario Testino. A huge glass house in Hyde Park hosted the show and attendees were welcomed by a hologram of Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley (face of their 'Body' fragrance) - wowzer! As soon as the full Facebook video link is available I will of course share it with you.
The show was opened by the lovely Cara Delevigne strutting down the runway to 'I put a spell on you' wearing a beautiful plum trench coat and straw baseball hat with pom pom.
I particularly loved the shoes - but have so far been unable to track down an upclose image of them.
The colours continued in the same vein of muted jewels. Skirts were mostly below the knee and there was plenty of thin knits. Overall, I feel Christopher Bailey has really produced a collection for British women and I loved it. Let's face it, our weather is hardly tropical and these designs are totally wearable. Beautiful shapes, tribal prints, woven bags, cropped jackets and wedges (guess I'm going to have to get over my fear of them).
Here's some more pics. Excuse the quality - they're straight from the Facebook video (http://www.facebook.com/#!/burberry) until others are available online.
