As King Edward VII used to say: “Fetch me my Burberry”. Believe it or not Burberry is more than a 150 years old. The British brand evokes the holy grail of trench coat. Just recall Humphrey Bogart in “Casablanca” or Audrey Hepburn at “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. The whole Golden-Age Hollywood was seen sporting the trench at one point or another, on and off-screen as well.
Christopher Bailey, once designer at Gucci Under Tom Ford’s leadership, has been perpetuating Burberry’s héritage while making the brand a fashion phenomenon. He brought a new mood to the iconic trench coat to make it more couture by introducing new patterns and new colors. The result : A feast of embellishment seducing Hollywood more than ever.
No trench coat faux pas! Fetch your Burberry!
