Burberry Prorsum Fall 2014: British Reserve Meets the Wild Wild West
If Spring 2014's Burberry show was soft and romantic and uniformly pastel, Monday's show was a flurry of pattern and color, a parade of English roses with a bit of — dare we say it? — Southwestern flair thrown in. Models wore floral lace-up ankle boots and carried hugely chic, oversized bags in Santa Fe-worthy prints; outerwear was belted and/or embellished with long scarves, and the show culminated with models pouring onto the runway, monogrammed blankets slung confidently over their shoulders — a look even Clint Eastwood could be convinced to pull off.
