Deep within the abyss of Burberry archives, Christopher Bailey’s collection connected modern day materials with a current condition, the extreme condition of global weather. A sixties campaign in which every image was photographed in a different weather condition sparked the inspiration of a coat for all seasons which remained Bailey’s most pressing focus for the collection.
Regal connections lingered throughout, manifesting a subtle suggestion of heritage to the contemporary man. Fur was woven and doeskin layered to entrust the epitome of luxury. However the real emphasis was the celebration of the coat. Imperishable they seemed to be and again, Bailey’s use of colour was incredibly astute.
