Milan’s menswear spectacular has just passed by and it was certainly a fantastic week. Highlighted by the wonderful array of colours that were on show, the runways threw up some things I didn’t expect to see from an Autumn/Winter collections (I’m thinking of a banana yellow puffa jacket from Burberry).
So here is a quick round-up and my personal review of the best menswear shows for Fashionbeans, plus a few hand selected pieces yWith Cliff Richard on the sound system and real rain in the finale, the Burberry showcase was a spectacular. Compared to Autumn/Winter 2010/11, the collection consisted of a variety of bright colours, with a decrease in the number of their iconic trenches and an increase in the variety of coats available. The first look of the show was bang on trend, using a plaid check coat and oversize bag. Top designer at Burberry Christopher Bailey made a decision to focus the collection around different coats for each individual season. Looks consisted of a vast variety of skinny pants, suits and knitwear combined with furry doeskin. The coats that were on show are suitable for all the varying types of elements we are prone to in the UK – from rain, to wind and snow. Bright colours were seen in an orange duffel and a pea green military coat, but also consisted of tweeds and camels which we saw a rise of in 2010. The coats and jackets were fur-collared for that Burberry luxury appeal, again building on the similar shearling trend we saw at the end of 2010.
The finale of the show was incredible. With only Alexander McQueen daring to do so before him, Bailey created a full-on catwalk rainstorm. This links directly from the inspiration of the collection: Bailey found an ad campaign in the archives of the Burberry library consisting of looks in every different weather condition and decided to play upon it. Impressive.
