burberry.


i've never been all that into Burberry. i always found it a bit stifled and boring. so much khaki and so many trench coats. well this season, despite still have quite a lot of khaki and trench coats, i think Burberry's collection is pretty fantastic.

new york magazine has a good slideshow of the looks, which is worth checking out despite the near constant advertising interruptions.

the whole collection seems basically very wearable. there might have been one too many of the gauzy, bandage style wrap skirts and dresses, but overall i really liked their look. plus, it's nice that this fashion seems at least moderately accessible (even if still not affordable).

and emma watson makes a pretty good spokesmodel. she's got the whole young, british thing going for her. and while Burberry has always been quintessentially british, until recently they didn't come across as very young.

for some background on Burberry fashion director Christopher Bailey check out this article from last fall.
