Sixties Inspiration for Burberry

Of course if you know me, you would understand why my first official post would have to be regarding Burberry. I am a huge advocate of the brand, as it is on my list of top three favorite designers. The most recent Prorsum collection especially has me mesmerized.
Jean Shrimpton, a huge fashion icon from the sixties, was inspiration for the women's collection, whereas the men's was inspired by the ranges of weather - a coat for all seasons. This gave way to a huge range of fabulous, and unique pieces ranging in fabrics, textures, and cuts. Bold colours, exaggeration in cuts (arms emphasis, cocoon shapes, structure), and furs in this collection make for solid statement pieces.
