Anybody watch the livestream of the Burberry Prorsum Women's FW 2010 show? The stream this time around was a much more produced effort, complete with on-set announcer both pre- and post-show. What I loved about the collection was its continuation of the themes and styles Christopher Bailey presented at his men's show earlier this year. Wide exaggerated collars on jackets constructed of plush shearling, fashioned with belted leather cuff and collar straps, utility zippers...
Case in point:
I've had these screen captures from the stream just sitting on my laptop for the past few days...
HI FREJA!
Perhaps the two pieces of outerwear that appealed to me the most to me were this grey cropped shearling jacket...
...and this white patchwork shearling trench...
Both pieces have been up for pre-order on the Burberry site since after the show on Tuesday. Both these looks seem so decadent to me, and so appropriate for the Prorsum image. Perhaps a slightly pared down piece that might be more appropriate for routine winter-wear, that I just as equally warmed up to, is this doeskin coat with the shearling panels. I really love how the black shearling lends a very feminine silhouette and feel to the otherwise standard military-themed upper half.
But, enough about the ladies. My original intentions behind watching the show online were to see which men's pieces would show up for an encore presentation. I love how Bailey always casts a few male models to showcase looks from the men's show.
I have been lusting after this coat ever since I
saw it for the first time during the men's show. The final look of the show, the blue-grey tone of the shearling is such a beautiful color, and contrasts quite nicely from the other hues that comprise the collection. I still can't seem to get this coat out of my mind, I seriously am tempted to begin making calls in hopes of tracking it down. I really hope it makes it into production and that it wasn't just a sample piece.
I also found this black shearling coat to be rather appearling, and if I can't track down the above rendition, I'd seriously look into whether or not this second piece was a possibility...

Although the majority of the Mall of America is rather devoid of taste, it doesn't take much to build a tourist trap when it comes to the good ol' Midwest. Hell, as a local, even I'm guilty of using it as one of my routine haunts when it comes to shopping -- both actual and window. "Everything" is just there under one roof. And there are pockets of better branding dispersed -- far and wide -- throughout...Burberry is a good example, although they do not (unfortunately, but understandably) stock Prorsum at their sole MN location. As such, perhaps what I appreciate most about the store is its storefront, which features two store-high panels that are always up-to-date with the current ad campaign... Currently, Emma Watson, her brother Alex, and George Craig all stand tall and proud, from the same set of images as the ones HERE.
And for completeness' sake, the same panels back when last fall's campaign first went up -- I took these images and then just left them lying around w/o ever having uploaded them here...so voila! -- also with Emma, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to do some snooping to ID the guys...tFS here I come, or better yet, help me out!
