London AW10 | Day Four






Burberry's creative director couldn't have created a more captivating performance if he tried. Paris, New York and Tokyo hosted live streams of the 3D show in special viewing arenas and the real show in London played host to a down right fabulous show. Give me every single jacket from the middle of the show, those clean lines and interesting zips have me in awe already. Old lace in mustard and brown didn't really captivate, but the silhouette with bulk versus tailored did, then the pink and finally cream colour palettes towards the end of the collection made sure there was something for everyone. Call me biased but this was memorable for all the right reasons and the name Prorsum says it all, Burberry is going forward like no other luxury brand has done so far.
Jonathan Saunders kept things casual as he sent out fresh, clean looks in all shades of gray. Then crept in the beige and red combination getting a work out of late, and the sporty trend soon followed.
There was nothing quite so natural at Issa though, including the hair. High enough to land its own postcode this collection did a good job of defying all gravity. There was PVC and leather sidling up next to wool, there were twists and little knots but nothing a that the Issa wearer can't handle, she needs to have attitude.
