Technology ago-go at Burberry

Burberry's A/W show was streamed live at 4pm today, I watched with baited breathe as the screen loaded... crashed... taunted me for a glitchy moment...then crashed before I swapped browser, turned up the volume, sat back and enjoyed the show (sadly not in 3D though!)

The collection was stunning. Spine tinglingly stunning. Kicking off with a range of oh-so desirable leather shearling jackets and coats, the likes of which made the gorgeous Acne Aviator jacket pale in comparison. Ruched and tattered dresses in an array of chiffon and the ever-more-present velvet were paired with oversized furs and rounded shoulder military detail coats. The compulsory trench made less of an appearance than in recent shows, the collection looking newer for it. With a rich earthy colour palette of khaki, black, navy and camel, broken with the dirty berry (not burgundy! Berry- a tone which washed away all visions of 90's Laura Ashley) with pops of Ochre, Yves Klein Blue and Cerise, combinations of which put back with white and mink looked truly modern and wearable.

It seems entirely appropriate to be commenting about this collection, that was streamed to the masses in fabulous 3D technology, through the egalitarian web!!

A desirable, commercial collection for the masses, seen by the masses.
