Burberry Prorsum Spring 2013 Runway Review

The show, which ran an impressive 46 looks not including the trench coat finale, was a story of corsets, capes, jewel tones, and candy wrappers. Overall it was a good showing that is sure to do well editorially and in stores, but we can’t help notice the obvious references peeking through. Like any heritage brand, Burberry is at its best when it’s being self-referential and this season felt too trend driven. With the brand releasing lower than expected profits this year, this collection might be a ploy to attract the younger customer, but surely its roots are where the profits lie.
