LFW AW 2012: Burberry

Burberry is always a show that never fails to disappoint and Christopher Bailey’s AW 2012 collection for the British fashion house was no different.

Models marched down the catwalk clutching striped umbrellas, which protected them from the fake snow that gave a nod to a quintessential British winter.

Of course the statement Burberry trench made an appearance- this year with fur and tweed twists- but what really stood out were the bow belts used in just about every look from jackets to striped skirts and as belts for coats.

Shapes gave a nod to the Victorian era with jackets flared at the waist and just below the knee A-line skirts given a little bit of an extra width, they were coupled with baker boy hats to really finish off the look.
However, the colour palate was anything but Victorian with yellows, blues and browns all making up main part of the collection.

After this display, stripes and bows are sure to be two looks that are hot on the highstreet this autumn.
