Resort 2011 - Burberry Prorsum

Christopher Bailey, the king, the creative genius that is the head of a fashion house that I can speak no wrong about, that elite fashion house being Burberry Prorsum. I kneel with one knee to the ground and the other facing my computer, head bowed and hands in a "hats off" position at the glory that is his resort 2011 collection, brilliance!

The aim of this collection is one of a much more personal "worn in" feeling that is to be exuded from each piece, said King Christopher, and with my limited scope of the said pieces I can say, mission accomplished. From the military inspired scuffed leather thigh high boots which definitely show an aged sexy, to the aged belts, one in a very exotic and appealing python, oh la la, snakes are definitely a turn on in the fashion world.

Alright, I know you are saying to yourself, I haven't spoken much about the clothing and this is a clothing review more so than a downright admittance to my obsession of all things Burberry, what can I say, the clothes are just magical, as expected! We know that trenches are the main forte of their arsenal, and one's mind continues to wonder how much more can be done with a mere coat, but surprise, surprise, surprise, why not wear nothing under it, lighten the fabric and transform that piece into a wrap dress, again I say the word, brilliance. The fabric choices in this collection are stellar and the colour story is one that I quite favor with olives, tans, blacks, grays, navy and greens, also a follow through theme of military remained in the forefront, It honestly couldn't get any better and just pushed that amazing Fall 2010 collection back into the mind.

Everything was fitted to the body as it were an exoskeleton, so the youthful factor was sure not to perish as a result of all the aging, the bags were credit card worthy as were the strapped booties. I do have one confession to make though, one small thing that I was a little in dismay about, was the detailing that was on most of the dresses and skirts that could be a bit odd shaped, unflattering and messy for anyone above the size of a supermodel but who knows how it will fall in reality.

Okay guys, don't be sad, this collection had about four male looks, each simple but each amazing and definitely closet worthy, so imagine the collection that would be the menswear, such a tease, King Christopher, such a tease.

In conclusion, this collection stands for everything that Burberry is and also cements my stand for everything that is Burberry!
