Burberry Prorsum 2010 Autumn Collection

This past week was Fashion Week throughout the world. The main cities where Fashion Week is hosted are New York City and London. The shows are designed so that the events in each city don't overlap.This year Fashion Week started with a sore note since acclaimed fashion designer Lee Alexander McQueen died a few days before his runway show in New York.
Tomorrow will be the end of Fashion Week in London. Though today the Burberry Prorsum Collection, one of the most anticipated collections of the year, was shown. Unlike past years, this show was broadcasted through out the whole world. You can see the show online. In many cities like Los Angeles, New York, Dubai, Tokyo and Paris it was broadcasted in 3-D. It was broadcasted in big wide spaces were there were special made silver screens from where the runway was shown.
The show was amazing. It started out with outfits that had earth colors. Then the outfits went to darker colors (blue and black), more elegant pieces. Then came the skin coats and and from there more and more outfits were coming out , first darker tones and then more live tones like brighter greens, yellows, blues and magenta's. At the end there were coats with animal fur, mostly sheep so not many animals were killed in the process.
The main article in this show were all the jackets worn. Almost every outfit had a jacket that went with it no matter it being formal or informal.I noticed that most jackets had a sort of military and aviation vibe to them. Christopher Bailey, Chief Creative Officer, said that " The jackets had aviation like a pivotal point to them."
In the end I think it was a very successful show and many fashion magazines will praise this collection.
