Christopher Bailey showed another strong collection during the menswear shows in Milan last week. Dubbed by many as the show of the week, the Burberry designer showed a refined yet quirky feel by capturing a Duke of Windsor-esque elegance. Simplified, flattened ruffles on shirts were worn with cummerbunds. And slim double and single breasted tailoring in ink blue and dark grey had wide-peaked lapels and were matched with tight waistcoats. The look was teamed with skinny ties and geometric print shirts. A houndstooth coat came with a fur collar while leather was used for quilted trench coats and fitted motorcycle jackets. The biker theme was subtly reinforced with chained or studded belts worn with tailoring. |
