It's always showtime at Burberry at London Fashion Week, with this season being no exception. An orchestra awaited the crowd in the translucent tent venue in Hyde Park, and played from a pit in the middle of the runway, around which models walked.
Like the black tuxedos and white shirts worn by the musicians, the models often sported the same color scheme, and came dressed elegantly for an outing to the Philharmonic or less formally and more playfully, perhaps, for an upscale concert by the likes of the British songstress Alison Moyet who performed retro British hits for the show.
Some wore black capes clasped together with gold buttons, worn over flowing silk gowns, draped in the tussled locks from these striding young women that had decided to dress up for the occasion in something glam that they had unpacked from one of the large canvas backpacks slung over a long coat.
More of these low slung backpacks, rich embroidery, gold trimmings, mini girly dresses, and men sporting perforated cream rain coats, and others that came in retro, heavily sequined evening jackets, made it a young, fun and varied show that riffed off both past century heroines and pop-ish styles from more recent generations, in this inventive preppy wardrobe for modern times.
