Over the past 150 years, Burberry has perfected the art of outerwear. Through innovations such as the development of new breathable and weatherproof materials, Burberry paved the way for Captain Roald Amundsen of Norway to become the first man to reach the South Pole. It is with this same passion for innovation and progress that the dreams of a 21 year old English drapers apprentice named Thomas Burberry have become as iconically English as tea.
Since then, Burberry has become synonymous with the trench coat and for good reason. Their trench coats have donned the likes of Kate Moss and Lily Donaldson. Meanwhile, the London based label continually tugs at our heartstrings with their unrivaled fusion of form and function that defines every Burberry collection.
For Burberry Prorsum's Fall 2010 RTW collection, Creative Director Christopher Bailey, enthralled us with a scintillating array of military inspired and aviator jackets. With bold collars and wide lapels each piece oozed a feminine power that proved both striking and sexy. Bailey's heavily structured creations were perfectly accented with forceful embellishments and elegant fur. Bailey's color palette of black, navy, and military green make every jacket an effortless addition to any wardrobe. These cropped coats are sure to have us all hoping for a blustery winter.
