Back to the Basics — Burberry Prorsum Fall 2009

bp Back to the Basics Burberry Prorsum Fall 2009

So far, this sea­son is feel­ing an absence of color. Tough eco­nomic times call for a refo­cus on the basics. Nos­tal­gic of Burberry’s his­tory, Burberry Cre­ative Direc­tor Christo­pher Bai­ley sent a col­lec­tion of over­sized coats down the run­way. Dis­cussing his col­lec­tion after the show, Bai­ley shared with Reuters that he “wanted to go back to the DNA and roots of what Burberry’s her­itage is about, which is why [he] did so much out­er­wear, so many trench coats, [he] wanted the Burberry check to be in a very strong way,” Hope­fully next sea­son brings one of the cold­est win­ters or Mr. Bai­ley is in trou­ble. High­lights of the col­lec­tion included tube scarves, neck ties, news­boy hats, belted scarves, over­sized knits and vel­vet evening wear.

    I usu­ally like Bailey’s col­lec­tions, and though this one is in the spirit of the pre­vi­ous, I have one prob­lem : the cut of the pants ! let’s call them fat pants.
    Design­ers have tried for years to make peo­ple look skin­nier than they really are. This col­lec­tion is almost coun­ter­pro­duc­tive. And whereas Lan­vin tries to rein­ter­prete basics with mod­ern cuts and fab­rics, this is just a ‘copy/​paste’ of the past. If we want wide-​​approxymately cut-​​high waisted pants, we just have to buy vin­tage clothes (or go to the Gap…). My grand-​​pa would love this collection.

    That is funny that you men­tion that because a lot of arti­cles already float­ing out there describe this col­lec­tion as slim/​skinny trousers paired with over­sized outerwear.

    Does Europe’s gap tend to carry clothes that are cut slim? In the US, nearly every­thing tends to be cut way too big and fit poorly.

    Gap is not estab­lished in France, only Paris, their plan­ning to open stores in the com­ing years, though. As men­tionned it as a con­ser­v­a­tive main­steam brand. Maybe J.Crew woul have been a more appro­pri­ate (even though I like some of their stuff).
    Regard­ing the pants, I think they’re so dif­fer­ent from what they used to be. In Burberry Prorsum’s pre­vi­ous col­lec­tions, they were slim­mer, with a wide hem (disco skinny…) I liked it, but those make these 28-​​inch waist mod­els look wider than they are, and it’s nei­ther loose, nore baggy, it’s just weirdly wide.
    More­over, the way they fall on the shoes is approx­i­mate (in a weird kind of way). It doesn’t look “nég­ligé”… in eng­lish huhhh : class­ily messy (?).
    That’s why I would say that this whole col­lec­tion is ‘wide’.
    What­ever.
    Burberry is for old people.

    I do notice that hem of the pants is pretty much excess, hence the weird ‘break’ on the shoes.

    The only thing that I like from this col­lec­tion is the lit­tle tie thingy. Might wanna try it myself hah!
