Burberry Prorsum - Bringing Back the Pencil Skirt


In typical Burberry Style Christopher Bailey kept the English theme running throughout his SS14 collection, with exquisite embellishment and pastel tones, lace detailing and cashmere cardis, some thought Baileys collection to look quite dated but I personally thought he had updated a typically dated look with underwear as outerwear making an appearance bringing the English rose in to the 21st century. And of course it wouldn’t be a Burberry show without showcasing one of their signature Macs and in my mind he didn’t disappoint, With the Macs slouchy silhouettes accompanied by classic asymmetrical lines, I reckon Burberry has set trend staples for the coming months. Baileys take on pencil skirts in particular with this collection are certain to trickle down to high street, overlaying textures and heavy embellishment has put a real twist on the once ever so simple skirt.
Many other designers this year have updated the look with sheer fabric and jewel details no.21 and Blumarni to name a few so the updated pencil skirt will no doubt be a strong look for the months to come.
