London Fashion Week- Burberry

Burberry Steals the Show! Country-living was key - tweed caps, cord skirts with flippy hems, belts, bags and even umbrella handles featured gold fox faces - and while some people expressed surprise at Burberry's summery collection for last (well, this...), autumn/winter, this one was right on the money when it came to the weather - olive, burgundy, plum, mustard, brown in every shade - it was sumptuous in colour and texture.














Jackets and coats in panels of tweed, cord and the signature Burberry mac fabric were fitted above their gathered, elasticated belts - with sweet bows at the front - and ballooned into bulging pockets or undulating peplums beneath and there was none of the beaded, homespun feel of last season. This was grown-up and inclusive - roomy woollen skirts came beneath blousy, full-sleeved white cotton shirts that will look good on more than just sample size models - bravo Burberry.
