See the fabulous fusion of two clashing style themes, the 'Town and Field' envisioned by Christopher Bailey in the Burberry Prorsum Fall 2012 ready-to-wear collection.
Christopher Bailey knows no limitations when it comes to
choosing inspiring themes for series of collections. Thanks to his
prophetic design fantasies and almost psychic sense to predict the
style cravings of the fashion fold, Burberry Prorsum became
one of the most influential ateliers of the world. Keeping the
public on its toes from one season to another, this young style
guru works on magical ensembles which combine Brit chic elements
with other aspects of high-street fashion.
For the Burberry Prorsum Fall 2012 ready-to-wear collection, Mr.
Bailey decided to re-elaborate and fuse two different themes. As
the title of the style parade illustrates, 'Town and Field', we
have an innovative and amazing remix of versatile dress codes.
Popularizing the art of layering, the brand offers us the chance to
steal a few styling and accessorizing tricks that could save our
look from an embarrassing meltdown and monotony during the upcoming
rainy season. Creating the perfect balance between the spheres of
the 'town' and the 'field', the top designer offered a unique
visual experience to the audience and celebs in the front row.
In order to break down the collection into its basic pillars, we
should definitely focus on the main themes. In the collection, the
theme of the 'town' is illustrated by the geometrical precision
used to create cropped and sharp outerwear clothing elements. The
hottest coats and jackets are armed up with Brit chic prints, faux
fur details and tiny bows created of the same fabric like belts
which complemented the different ensembles. On the other hand, we
also have a rural scene, the 'field' which is present in the form
of cotton parkas, animal images (sparrows, dogs and owls) along
with cardigans and embroidered shirts. Only a similarly creative
and pioneering designer like Cristopher Bailey could fuse these
clashing elements into a harmonious composition.
Interestingly, the highly-acclaimed couturier is not fond of
futuristic design patterns and decides to inject an edgy tint into
these classy and elegant ensembles in the form of statement
shoulders and unconventional accessorizing options. This is the
secret which keeps mainstream fashionistas under Burberry's spell.
Pastoral chic is also present in the selection of fabulous accessories like urchin caps,
ribbon and bow belts together with ultra-flirty Victorian style
lace-up ankle boots. Bailey relied on the romantic vibe of floral
and artsy prints to inject an'Arcadian couture' effect into classy
dresses. Velvet is crowned as the ultimate royal fabric used by the
Burberry atelier to get in touch with the sensual side of
fashionistas.
