It’s no secret: Christopher Bailey is fascinated by the speed with which the world is changing. But now the Burberry creative director is taking a certain pleasure in the idea of slowing down the world’s breakneck rhythm – at least at his own level. The collection is called Patchwork, Pattern, and Prints… This is how he started reflecting on the trenchcoat through a new prism of reality. It’s a piece that can be handed down from generation to generation, a legacy that at times goes back to its status as a wartime garment… Now he’s acting on his long-felt desire to come out with new pieces worthy of Burberry’s heralded patrimony.
In this post-hippy wardrobe, the color palette is warm. From bordeaux to peacock blue, with shades of forest green and ocher in between. Khaki, orange, and turquoise are set loose and brought together on resolutely ethnic pieces. And the famous belted trenchcoat is revisited with new Bohemian influences. Inspired by national craftwork, hippy aesthetics are brought to the next level of refinement as the floral print trenchcoat becomes a veritable homage to the folk scene of the 60s and 70s… Proof of the label’s perpetual wealth and relevance.
