"People are stopping work to watch the show, you've got to give them good reason" says Christopher Bailey, Burberry's creative director. Oh and did Mr. Bailey give us more than just good reason for his Spring 2013 London Fashion Week Show. Over the years Burberry has transformed into more than just its distinctive tartan pattern and this show is meant to go down in fashion history.
One
thing that you could not escape from was color, Bailey served up an explosion
of intense jewel tones, as well as, a heady mix of textures. Inspired from the
40s British glamour, Bailey's models strutted down the runway in high-wasted
hot pants, ruched swimsuits, capes, and rounded sculptural shoulders that
practically resembled a 40s-era screen siren with a modern day twist.
The
show was far from dated. Rainbow hued plastic caplets and handbags gave the
overall setting a futuristic feel and look, as did, the metallic silk and
leather trenches, bombers, and corseted dresses. Overall, there was a strong
point of view to the slick and visually overwhelming show. The most
jaw-dropping moment of all had to be when the models were sent out for their
final walk in trenches dipped in metallic hues that could make you melt from
the sight of them, literally.
Thus
far, London Fashion Week has offered an array of new and exciting trends for
fashion mavens to dream about for the upcoming spring season. On that list, metallics
(goodbye neon, hello metallic!) Burberry's version is a fresh and joyful must
have on my list to add to your spring wardrobe. If only it would be so simple
as to decide which color to choose. One for every day of the week would be ideal!
