Autumn/Winter 2009/2010 line “Town and country” by Burberry Prorsum presented at Milan Fashion week Friday, Feb. 27 2009.
Burberry’s creative director Christopher Bailey was trying to create classy stylish outfits that hopefully will tempt women back into their shops and make fashion for those who are hoping that the wintertime winds of the decline will pass by.
“It should have a point of view. Burberry’s is outerwear, and that’s what I’ve worked on here, from the casual shell of a trench to luxe furs.”
Backstage, Christopher Bailey avowed that he wanted the collection to be “very poetic and inspiring,” whereas his fashion show notes recognized the clothes to be a praising of stylish British icons: Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell and Elizabeth, Countess of Devon among them.
Christopher bought an engravin of the Anglo aristocrat at auction and made the image in gauzy crepe dresses, the features of this rather supreme show.
The outfits consist of classy to-the-knee dresses featured Grecian goddess shoulders and corset tops, made in crunched up withered metal complete fabrics.
Bailey did a great work of telling a modern view of the house story, starting most adjusting with a amazing trench done in khaki chamois.
And beautiful outerwear abounded.
Trenches made in twills and tweeds, some with bulky, knife-pleated skirts that channelled a country instant when worn over waisted silk dresses that were soft and slight as air in white and darkly romantic in navy and purple.
