Burberry Prorsum’s pre-fall collection may have solidifed a military motif that provided the tame design aesthetic the house is known for, but the main attraction takes the label in a new direction. Playing to Burberry’s strengths in outerwear, chief creative officer Christopher Bailey maintains a keen sense of tailoring, while progressing silhouettes to include the exaggerated variety that demonstrate showmanship and markers of a memorable season. With dramatic upturned collars, lush fabrics, rich colors and standing officers at command, Bailey reinvigorates a love for Burberry. Meanwhile, textured knits and arresting boots make a final lasting impression.
Patrick Kafka and our current model of the month Bastiaan Ninaber star in Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca’s editorial for the January issue of GQ Japan. Entitled “New British Attitude” and styled by Grant Pearce, the shoot takes a focused look at the latest collection from Burberry Prorsum.
Strong and masculine, Burberry Prorsum is the first of the major lines to offer a glimpse at next year’s fall. Based in hues of brown, navy and moss, Christopher Bailey embraces a military motif that relies on a safety net of modest colors and sharp tradition-bound tailoring. Respecting Burberry’s significant heritage, Bailey remains on point–perfecting an iconic image of status. As Bailey explained himself, “This collection is anchored in history, and what you’re seeing is a roll-call of Burberry outerwear.” From a stunning cape to a modern aviator’s jacket in leather, Bailey sets the bar high for what is to come in January.
Wrapped in Burberry’s iconic check, Libor Dusek poses for the lens of Yoshiaki Tutsui in the October issue of Oceans magazine. Adapting to several of Burberry Prorsum’s best ensembles as styled by Masaki Saruwatari, Libor is ready for an early winter.
Transitioning into the fall season, Burberry Prorsum has released their fall pre-collection. Focusing on outerwear, Christopher Bailey refocuses Burberry’s energy on celebrating their heritage. Following these sentiments, this upcoming fall sees strong structure, clean lines and a revamp on Burberry classics like the trench coat.
