.:. LFW | Burberry Prorsum Spring 2012 .:.

This Monday on September 19, Christopher Bailey - designer director for Burberry, presented his new Spring 2012 collection. He described his collection as: “A military wife, whose husband is stationed in the Far East, say, fills her idle hours by watching and learning from local artisans. Then she applies her new knowledge to decorating her own clothes, maybe with the beading that ran down the placket of a trench or lined its collar, or the bigger geometric wooden beads that formed patterns around necklines, or the raffia trim on a parka hood. And maybe she'd replace the buttons on her cardigan with pretty stones she found on the beach.”

I love all these textures, and geometric shaped skirts, beautiful colors and absolutely timeless style. The elevating Burberry parka is the highlight of this collection that has traditionally been occupied by the trench. The bold block printed dress, with a raffia bobble hat and a platform sandal with a leopard wedge, the parka took on the confident sashay of a 2012 is must-have.
