I loved the relax vision of Christopher's autumn and winter. Normally, Burberry invited guests and lovers enjoying its show with trees and sky as background of huge plastic tent in Kensington Garden but today Burberry stage covered behind thick drapes. Last season Bailey handwriting with bees and dragonflies illustration has become his inspiration and Bohemian ruggedness trails as his main inspiration for this season collection. The talented Clare Maguire as the entertainer and she entertained throughout the show with the band. I feel enjoyed and it reminds me about '60s and '70s vibes with modern taste. The songs that she sung really relate to the designs. Bailey presented his collection on Day 4 at London Collections: Men with 48 looks for this season. Slim tailored silhouettes, graphics, mixture of beautiful high quality fabrics and leather, embellishment combine with unique shapes giving it in each of the designs a tasteful look. From Burberry's velvet suit, rounded shoulder overcoat, knitted fringed blanket shawl, double-breasted blazer, collegiate bomber jacket, pea coat, belted mac, slim fitted shape cropped trousers, all over print shirt, fur collar overcoat to Burberry's mirror-embroidered shirts, trousers and coat combine with beautiful prints like paisley, floral, vine, camouflage, tartan check and traditional Indian mirror embroideries. Not forget, Burberry's tote bags in various type of leather and colours, dashing sunglasses and leather derby shoes. Based on what I've observed, it was amazing a show and excellent collection. There are separate pieces that you can mix match in the collection something dressy or you can turn it to casual. The show ended with glorious golden flakes falling down and big applause by all invited guests.
