MFW: Burberry Prorsum A/W12 Menswear

For a Fall collection, it seems an odd choice to create a showacase full of bright popping hues, but then again when we get the winter blues it is this exact touch that lifts our mood and brings life to the cold and wintry season. This year, Christopher Bailey styled the Burberry gent in a very Dick Van Dyke-esque attire; Streamlined silhouettes, double breasted suits and a complete array of gentlemanly accessories including flatcaps, gloves and umbrellas. They all sound very typical of the label's aesthetic but the look was invigorated by bright jewel tones in turquoise, topaz and jasper, and rich earthy ochre hues in saffron and burnt sienna. Bailey continues his globetrotting colour swatch and it is made all the more striking against a conservative canvas of charcoal and dove gray suits. To battle the cold the boys were equipped with tri-colour striped overcoats, puffy windbreakers and cropped bomber jackets of tweed and flannel. To finish off the look, Bailey decided to take a cheeky turn and added quirky animals motifs, which already is looking like the IT trend of the season. Foxes appeared zanily across cozy woollen jumpers, while the suave umbrellas were capped with hand-carved ducks as handles.
