Fashback - Burberry Prorsum A/W 2009-2010

Mr Darcy's like the ultimate, isn't he? There's something about rising music and rolling landscapes dotted by manors and frock coats and breeches. Just, something. Something that needs to be revived. I think the mundane would be a lot more enjoyable.

So, if possible, could all men dress like it's A/W 2009-2010 and they attended the Burberry Prorsum show? That would make me immensely happy.

Long live the frock coat.

P.S. Is it just me or is there something intensely sexy about a ruffle front white shirt on a man? Just me then.

P.P.S. Oh, hai, Burberry Boys.

Jil Sander S/S 2013

Cool.

Ease.

Simplicity.

Menswear influence.

Sex Appeal.

All of the above could be used to describe the S/S 2013 Jil Sander collection.

So, it's a little bit exactly what you'd expect from a Jil Sander collection but it's still uber-gorgeous. The palette from A/W is referenced with more splashes of white to make it more summery but the coherence is kind of wonderful and those cherry reds, dusky pinks and burgundy shades are just perfect. I really adore those colours so I'm glad they've been used once more. The navy menswear inspired looks are important highlights in my eyes, as are the coats and suit alternatives/coordinates/suits (as per for Jil Sander) while a couple of the dresses just aren't doing it for me. A little on the sack side of things. In the dresses that get it right there's an accentuating of hips and skimming of the body thing going on that I'm totally feeling.Their models are the best as always, the styling is so on point and the hair and makeup is laid back and refreshing. Overall, a solid, unsurprising but beautiful collection.
