On Saturday, you were able to watch the Burberry Prorsum Menswear S/S 2012 show live on Sandra’s Closet. Today, I would like to show you whom I saw at the show in Milan and give you a little more insight into the collection.
The lull before the storm.
Anna Dello Russo with Bryan Boy…
…and with me.
Front Row: Julian Morris, Cara Delevingne, Rob Pryor and Jake Cooper
Christopher Bailey celebrated craftsmanship and laid the emphasis on the artisan spirit:
“This collection started with our iconic heritage as the foundation, we really wanted to emphasise this feeling of handcrafted pieces, celebrating craftsmanship but always with this playful element. We have taken our icons and played with texture to personalise and give them a real character and charm using colour to highlight the intricate detail that goes into crafting them.”
Christopher Bailey, Burberry Chief Creative Officer BURBERRY PRORSUM
There were lots of ikat prints, beautiful raffia trims and wooden paillettes. Those embellishments will make those T-shirts the next summer’s must-haves. The crocheted details and the bobble caps were reminscent of the `70s and the hippie era. I am pretty convinced that those ethnical influences, the maxi bags and the earthy colours will be liked a lot by the stronger sex. Don’t forget, you can order some of the pieces now online until June 27, 2011.
LoL, Sandra
