LFW: Burberry Prorsum Fall 2010 Runway

The opening look at Burberry’s Fall 2010 collection summed up the show in total, a model in a sheer dress, thigh-high boots and of course, a shearling jacket. There is something intrinsically beautiful about the masculine jacket paired with a romantic sheer dress. Shearlings ruled Burberry’s runway, and relegated the celebrated trench to a supporting role. Though the trench may not have been the headliner, they showed they were a timeless classic. They were updated with a military inspiration; my thought, ‘where do I enlist’? It was an earthy color palette of olive green, mustard, tan, off-white, and grey with burgundy and navy mixed in. The ultra sexy thigh-high boots served as a pant-like substitute to some of the barely there hemlines. At the end of the day, it was a stunning collection with pieces we will all be coveting from now until the fall season.
