Christopher Bailey’s fashion show at London Fashion Week was the talk of the town, showcasing the vibrant and rich colors expected for the upcoming winter season. As the artistic director and CEO of Burberry, Bailey did not disappoint with his autumn-winter 2015/16 collection. The collection was a stunning display of ethnic-inspired pieces, with a color palette featuring shades of blue, ochre, and burgundy.
What set this collection apart was the emphasis on a more relaxed and natural aesthetic. Bailey explained, “We live in such a fast-paced world, and while I appreciate that, it’s also important to take a pause and appreciate the beauty of things that are truly handmade.” With this sentiment in mind, the collection featured loose and oversized cuts, showcasing the craftsmanship involved in creating each garment.
Embroidery, suede thigh-high boots, pattern mixing, and radiant dresses adorned with tiny mirrors sewn onto the fabrics were just a few of the highlights of the collection. Bailey’s latest collection, aptly named “Patchwork, Pattern, and Prints,” also brought back fringes, floral patterns, and patchwork. These elements were expertly placed on high boots, adding a touch of bohemian influence to the overall look.
Of course, Burberry’s signature belted trench coat made an appearance, reimagined with bohemian influences to fit seamlessly with the collection. The brand stayed true to its essence while incorporating new and exciting elements.
The fashion show was not just about the clothes, as artist Clare Maguire and her live band provided a captivating performance during the event. It drew some of the biggest names in the fashion industry, including Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne, who are also the faces of Burberry’s new fragrance, My Burberry. The show concluded in typical Burberry fashion, with a shower of sparkling confetti.
For those who want to recreate the runway look, Burberry is offering three nail polish shades inspired by the collection on their website, available until March 9th. These shades are the perfect way to add a touch of the Burberry aesthetic to any winter wardrobe.
