6.30 pm sharp. I think everyone in this entire universe who didn't get ticket to see the Burberry show @ SW1, London would glued to their LCD screen like moi. The live streaming of the much anticipated comeback show on British shores again. My verdict?
The runway: very plain and simple. No frills, no drama, no props (?) like their fall/winter with dried autumn leaves scattered or giant check design on the background. Perhaps it's more subdued, very bright; as bright as London summer sunny sky (if you are lucky..:D)
The music: cool, pretty laidback... as if you're lounging around by the beach.
The collection: This is a different story after all. No more English garden, green, peasant-like clothes. It's more "back to the future" kinda feel. 'Back' as if they're going back to the Dynasty era with big shoulders ala Joan Collins' dress. 'Future' coz the color pallette seems to be more glittery, glimmer, metallic here and there. You also get pale shades of blues, hues of greys, tint of pinks and cool icy green. Yes, romantic vibes is still has its presence, but 'futuristic romantic' I would say. And talking about the collection which is mainly outerwear, aren't they just brilliant? It's not the ladies' typical pac-a-mac, but more drama here. There're frills, knots and wraparound feel. One time you think it's a typical mac, but suddenly 'poof' you get the pouffy shoulders. And the dress, though we've seen it before (esp on Project Runway, lol), at least they gave a 'longevity' feel to the typical summer dress. And oh the shoes? I think the ladies gonna fall for it, definitely (not to mention fall because of it too, lol)
Overall, brilliant collection though not pretty sure if people still going for 80's vibes again next SS'10. Anyway, it's nice to see some top models grace the catwalk like Lily Donaldson, Freja Beha, Chanel Iman and Ikeliene.
Shoes to die for. Knots meets stripper.
