Burberry Prorsum Collection
January 17, 2009
Burberry Prorsum Men's RTW Fall 2009
When Christopher Bailey arrived at Burberry at the start of this decade, his mission was clear: dust off the traditional British brand and elevate it beyond checks and trench coats. Now that he has successfully delivered, he has the confidence to revisit the past. "I feel like it was a moment to go back to who we are, and to the real icons of the company. It feels like the right moment," Bailey said after the show. The journey began with the house's iconic check, which Bailey exploded into an oversized version, using it on scarves, shirts and hefty peacoats, which were shown over tapered, pinstripe trousers. Updated Fair Isle sweaters, rumpled tuxedo shirts and boiled velvet suits looked both rich - and lived-in. What Bailey does best is deliver disheveled elegance, and in this collection he did it in spades - proving that the road home is sometimes the best route to take.
