Walk the Walk: Burberry Prorsum F/W 2014 Collection

All eyes were on Christopher Bailey yesterday, as this was the first collection after he became the CEO of the brand. This season, the designer used Bloomsbury as the inspiration for the collection. From trench coat to shoes, many of the pieces were hand painted to create that unique factor. There were also some nice silk dresses, which to me was an unexpected move from the designer, because they looked very light and summery. Aside from the print scarves, the hand painted Bloomsbury bags should be a big hit next season as it had so many different versions.

I may not be totally blown away by this collection, but one thing is certain: Christopher Bailey is unstoppable and you just never know what tricks he will play for his next collection.

Pros:
- Because most of the pieces are all hand painted, that means every customer should be getting a unique piece (aka the drawings may not be at the exact spot, or the strokes will be different).
- The Bloomsbury bag is impressive and I like the different variations of it.
- I like the hand painted belts and shoes.
- The silk dresses are nice, and they are something unexpected for the F/W season.
- The print scarves should be a hit next season.

Cons:
- Some pieces are too DIY for my taste.

Eye Candies:
- The Bloomsbury bag in hand-painted leathers and suedes
- The woven blankets
- The hand painted boots
- Green wool coat
- Lace dresses
- Geometric patchwork shearling coat
