Burberry sparkles

BRITISH fashion giant Burberry Prorsum put the sparkle into London Fashion Week on Monday, before Scottish designer Christopher Kane took his star-studded audience on a journey into the bizarre.

Burberry chief executive Christopher Bailey said the collection, which will be drip fed into stores from June, was inspired by a “patchwork” of influences.

Recurring themes included cashmere overcoats with military style epaulettes and brass buttons, brushed mohair checked coats and dazzling mini-dresses with hand-stitched sequins in floral patterns and psychedelic swirls.

Shares in the luxury label have fallen by 30 percent from their peak, hit by falling demand in China.

Bailey said he hoped the latest collection, which is designed for wear all year-round, will tap into other emerging international markets.

The collection is already available on pre-order and the next one can be bought immediately following the show in London next September.
