Walk the Walk: Burberry Prorsum F/W 2013 Collection

It's impossible not to love Christoper Bailey's creations because he just loves to push the trench coat envelope every season. For this coming season, Bailey applies rubber and animal print to the sleeves of the trench coats. The end result is very stunning and with a hint of the metal accent, the entire collection just becomes very modern and elegant.

I am also fascinated by the use of the metal eyelets and he applies this element in a very creative way.  I think of peacock feathers when these eyelets are combined with the leather fringes. Of course, the last 2 metal accent pieces are something all girls will die for in the coming season.

The biggest surprise of this show was actually not the collection, but the live performance by Tom Odell. His song Hold Me will most likely be stuck in my head for the next couple days. This also shows how much Burberry is supporting new music talents and I truly hope the Burberry Acoustic segment will continue to grow.

Pros:
- I love how Christopher Bailey adds the rubber or animal accent to the trench coat, this move definitely makes the the collection more interesting.
- The metal belt will be a bit hit for this coming season.
- The metal eyelets are a nice touch to many of the pieces, and when they are linked to the leather fringes, those pieces just become more regel.
- The metal accent on the final dress and the trench coats are simply beautiful.

Cons:
- If the metal accent can be applied on some menswear pieces, that will be great.
