LFW: Burberry Prorsum

Oversized Coat
Fashion lovers flocked to Hype Park in London to exhibit what this years London Fashion Week has to offer. England is home to world-fashion brands that have retail expertise and entry level products (such as sunglasses and perfumes) making them desirable yet attainable to a certain extent. For this reason London Fashion Week has become an indicator for upcoming trends. Some of the must-see shows every year include Tom Ford, Erdem, Jonathan Sunders, Alexander McQueen, Mulberry, Stella McCartney, and Christopher Kane but, the most iconic of all the shows and the the epitome of British style is none other than Burberry Prorsum.

Pale Pink Lace Skirt

Christopher Bailey's "English Rose" collection was a departure from his usually aesthetic because it was more accessible to the masses. The collection used pink and custard tones and combined modern styling with traditional Burberry elements. Bailey even sourced lace from Nottingham, England to create pencil skirts which he paired with cashmere sweaters. Burberry is known for their trench coats and Bailey has recreated the signature trench almost every season for the label. However, for this season he deiced to show soft and roomy coats in the "English Rose" color pallet which   was a refreshing twist. The show ended with pale pink rose petals falling from the sky.
