Burberry Icons E-mail
Friday, 25 August 2006

Burberry used its rich archives as inspiration for its 150 th anniversary and to celebrate it being at the top of British luxury fashion with a new icon collection. From the trench to the check, Burberry is of course steep in icons and for autumn the brand takes their iconography up a gear. The new collection doesn't feature reissues, however, instead, Christopher Bailey, Burberry's creative director, infuses heritage (chic) into modern pieces.

A capsule collection includes quilted leather for men and women, making this outerwear as much at home on a country stroll as it is waiting in line at your local bus stop. The D-ring - usually seen on the shoulder of a trench - is reinvented in a superluxe print. In full force on a must-have waxed trench, it's also maxed out on a full range of accessories. Bag features include a padlock and buckled up doctors' shapes. The check, meanwhile, is subtle when mixed with either trim on bags or bleached out on a mac. Black, beige and red shade sunglasses sport the Burberry knight crusading on the side of your face.
