"Set in Kensington Gardens, to the sound of James Bay and his raw acoustic music, Burberry Prorsum's SS15 show curated by Chief Creative Director, Christopher Bailey, brought something new to London Fashion Week. Pairing cropped box jackets with delicate dresses or skirts made with tulle of chiffon created a modern approach to an 80's inspired wardrobe.
The outerwear was greatly influenced by the boxy silhouette of the 80's; models wore cropped denim jackets with PVC or fur detail. The classic Burberry trench coat was redefined using the same materials, which gave a new twist on the style staple.
Contrasting to the lines formed by masculine shapes of the outerwear, the dresses and skirts touched on a more feminine side. The sheer tulle and chiffon accentuates the model's figure, moving more freely than the structured jackets.
A mix of modern, vibrant colours and neutral earthy tones were used in the collection, which nods to the new artistic approach presented at recent Burberry shows. Purples, greens, blues and reds were the colours central to the collection with different tones and variations, which add interest to each piece.
The collection saw a mix of trainers and Birkenstock influenced sandals worn on the catwalk, again mixing modern and retro styles. As the models walked the finale, dressed in hand painted trench coats, the catwalk was awash with colour. Models wearing the artistic impressionist patterns in array of colours spread down the length of the catwalk and maintained the artisan theme of the show."
