Burberry Prorsum Milan show of the week

Christopher Bailey showed another strong collection during the menswear shows in Milan last week. Dubbed by many as the show of the week, the Burberry designer showed a refined yet quirky feel by capturing a Duke of Windsor-esque elegance.

Simplified, flattened ruffles on shirts were worn with cummerbunds. And slim double and single breasted tailoring in ink blue and dark grey had wide-peaked lapels and were matched with tight waistcoats. The look was teamed with skinny ties and geometric print shirts. A houndstooth coat came with a fur collar while leather was used for quilted trench coats and fitted motorcycle jackets. The biker theme was subtly reinforced with chained or studded belts worn with tailoring.
