Heritage Biker

{Burberry Prorsum S/S 2011, London}

On Wednesday the last of the runways lines in Paris signified the wrap-up of the major S/S fashion shows.  It's already been a couple of weeks since the fashionistas invaded London to see the British collections, and yet I am only just writing about what was by far my favorite of the bunch - Burberry Prorsum.  Perhaps it was that I had trouble editing down the looks to post...and I'll admit that in the end my shortlist is not so short.  But how could it be?  Burberry Prorsum might be the only line where I would wear every single womenswear piece they sent out.  It's not just stylish, it's undeniably luxurious and cool.  Designer Christopher Bailey dubbed the collection Heritage Biker, drawing from Burberry's traditional past and juxtaposing it with the sexy edginess that the label is embracing today.  It's an unlikely pairing of ideals, but it more than works.  And as always, nobody does a coat like Burberry.
