BURBERRY PRORSUM WOMENSWEAR PRE-COLLECTION SPRING SUMMER 2011

This isn't a "shoe post" I know, but I really couldn't resist talking about this one, the detailing, especially the belts have me sighing. Everything is so deliberately messy prêt, that you cant deny them. 


Logically speaking - This "spring summer" collection is only "spring summer" for Europe, for us in India, its more "autumn winter" considering our maddening temperatures during the hot season. 

True to Burberry tradition, the new Spring Summer 2010 Prorsum Womenswear Pre Collection is minimalist and intricate at the same time. The silhouettes and textures appear delicate but have a twang of edginess to them - giving them a much desired street feel. 

SILHOUETTES

The collection is an amalgamation of seamlessly cohesive silhouettes from fitted trench coats, streamlined pea coats, regimental jackets, cropped officer jackets to sheath dresses, ruched puff dresses and officer high-waisted trousers, skinny uniform trousers and pencil skirts.

FABRICS

The design house has enlisted the use fabrics from a broad range of options from naval wool twill, bonded military cotton, lightweight super gloss ponyskin to nappa leather, jersey tailoring, gold-dyed stretch canvas and crochet, washed silk chiffon, washed silk satin, fine ruched knitted silk, technical silk, raw edge silk and super soft fine cashmere. 

The collection features a number of little embellishments and accessories like naval collars, matt leather trims, seam sealing, contrast lining, ruched strip application, giant hook and eyes, jersey side panels and  military metal back neck chain.
