Lots of double breasted tailoring with layered outerwear
In Milan we saw Burberry showcasing their Prorsum AW12 collection. I'm a huge fan of Burberry for guys, my boyfriend has a few jumpers and the likes and they are very well made, and the attention to detail is fantastic, which, of course, they have not failed to showcase here too. There is a strong British theme focusing on creating a 'Tailored Countryman', with lots of tweeds, quilted wax, corduroy, velvet and herringbone wools and the beloved flat-cap (although a little oversized)! A mostly neutral base but with strong flashes of claret, cobalt blue, marigold and olive green work so well and compliment the hunting/fishing/farming -man theme.
Each Gentleman is styled with the most amazing accessories too, I especially love the spiked leather gloves and umbrella's with duck heads as the handles.
Mr Christopher Bailey has sent a very clear message with this show...he wants you guys out there to bring back the Traditional English Gentleman. Please. Thanks.
Bravo Bailey, Bravo.
