snowfall

Burberry Prorsum Fall Fashion 2011  The snowy finale of Christopher Bailey's show may have been all that is whimsical and magical, but rather underwhelming was the rest of his collection for Burberry Prorsum. His is among my favorite lines with its modern edgy-meets-classic-British sensibility. This season, not only was the styling of the show subpar, but the looks seemed less than new, like something we've seen countless times both this season and in seasons past. True, he did look to the past for his inspiration-- 60's supermodel and icon Jean Shrimpton was the muse, but there was nothing so very captivating for a modern fashionite. The best moments of the show involved exaggerated or fur-lined shoulders and sleeves... and the snow of course. Cheers!
