Walk the Walk: Burberry Prorsum F/W 2012 Collection

Back in January, Christopher Bailey showed the world his gentlemen collection and it has everything a man will need for next season. Today, he continues to show a strong womenswear collection by combining the London urban and hunting vibe together.

There are so many great things in this collection but I am just going to highlight a few here. Peplum seems to be the major element of this collection as this design is applied on dress and outerwear. This element adds a flare to the classic silhouette. The colour palette is leaning towards the earthy tone which is easy for the ladies to mix and match this collection with their existing wardrobe. One thing that is worth to mention is the ornamental animal-detail on the clutches (men have the ornamental animal-detail umbrellas). I really like this detail add on as it helps to reflect the hunting theme.

Best part of this runway show? I have to say is the raining effect at the end of the show. After watching that scene, my mind starts to associate the word "romantic" to the entire collection.

Pros:
- The peplum design is one of the signature elements of this season and it makes the pieces very elegant and lady like.
- Those ankle boots (Burberry Field Boots) are pretty.
- I love the floral pattern, from what I have seen in the video, the pattern is hand painted.
- I am a fan of the mixed fabrication panels, so modern and pretty.
- The small ornamental animal-detail zipped clutch bags are cute, which really reflects the hunting theme.

Cons:
- I expected I would be seeing some gowns in this season since there are quite a few pieces in the pre fall collection. Nope, nothing.

Eye Candies:
- Cotton tweed trench coat
- Burberry field boots
- Corduroy collar riding jacket
- Tailored cotton riding jacket
- Clutches with animal ornaments
- Floral print peplum skirt
