When Daniel Lee took over as the head of Burberry people in the fashion world thought that British style would be seen in a new way. For a time Burberry has been a symbol of traditional British style making people think of rainy streets in London, big country houses and the classic trench coat.. The fashion world is changing and it needs more than just looking back at the past. It needs to talk to the present and be a part of it. The Burberry Spring Womenswear Collection is the example of Daniel Lee’s new vision for the brand. He moved away from the minimal style he used at the start and instead created a collection that is full of energy and life just like the different subcultures in the United Kingdom. This collection does not just preserve the past it makes something exciting.
The Scenography and the Sonic Landscape
To understand the clothes in the spring collection you need to know about the place where they were shown. Of using a traditional venue Burberry built a big pavilion at Perks Field in Kensington. The building was simple but well-designed like the tents and shelters used by farmers. The pavilion was designed in a way that reminds you of festivals they’re really important in British culture like Glastonbury and the Isle of Wight. Daniel Lee did a job of bringing the outdoors in. This set the tone for the clothes that Daniel Lee designed. The clothes were meant to be worn in an relaxed way. The British culture festivals like Glastonbury and the Isle of Wight are all, about being casual and relaxed.
The Soundtrack of Rebellion
When the models first came out the music was loud. Had a strong beat mixing punk and rock with classical music. The music was like the clothes it was British and unapologetic. The music made the models walk fast and with purpose showing that the clothes were meant to be moved
The Transmutation of Gabardine
- Burberry is well known for its gabardine fabric.
- Thomas Burberry invented it back, in 1879.
- Daniel Lee did not treat gabardine like it was super special.
- He used it in ways.
- He made gabardine lighter and more flexible.
- This made the classic trench coat feel more relaxed to wear.
- The brand Burberry used this creative gabardine to make their trench coats.
The Infusion of Color and Kinetic Detail
One of the changes in the collection was the use of bright and bold colors. The classic beige and brown colors were still there. They were joined by new colors like electric mint washed plum and sulphur yellow.
- Electric Mint: an refreshing green color that added a modern touch to the traditional raincoat.
- Washed Plum: an moody purple color that reminded people of the British autumn.
- Sulphur Yellow: an bold yellow color that was like the safety gear worn by workers.
Deconstructed. Mod Precision
The collection also included daywear that was inspired by the Mod subculture of the 1960s. The tailoring was simple and clean with shoulders and asymmetric closures. The clothes were like the scooters worn by Mods. With a more modern and precise touch. I found it really interesting how the collection brought together textures and styles. The designers paired up delicate crochet dresses with cargo trousers. They also paired them with technical shorts. This combination of Crochet and Cargo really shows that when it comes to dressing it is all, about mixing and matching different styles and textures. The idea of Crochet and Cargo coming is a great example of this.
The Rebirth of Tartan: Psychedelic Heritage
The traditional tartan pattern was used in a cool way with bright colors and bold colors and a more relaxed fit. This was of, like the punk rock movement, which took the British culture and made the British culture into something new and the British culture was made into something exciting. The punk rock movement did this with the culture and it was very interesting to see the traditional tartan pattern used in this way with the British culture.
The Cavalier Boot: A New Icon
The footwear in the collection was also very interesting the Cavalier boot. This boot was like the riding boots worn by horse riders. It was softer and more relaxed. It was worn with dresses and denim. It added a touch of elegance to every outfit. The collection also had duty leather boots with soles and metal parts. These leather boots were like the ones punk rockers wear. They were also, like the ones skinheads wear. The leather boots added a bit of rebellion to the outfits. The collection had these leather boots that gave people a look.
Hardware: Form Follows Function
The bags in the collection were simple and practical with structures and industrial hardware. They were like the bags worn by workers. With a more modern and stylish touch. The collection had some cool fabrics, like the Moulin knit. The Moulin knit fabric was similar, to a wool but it was actually very light and you could breathe easily when you wore it. The Moulin knit was used to make tops and skirts that fell below the knee and these tops and skirts were both nice to look at and nice to wear.
Artisanal Interventions
The collection had some cool things in it like these handmade crochet dresses and old looking leather jackets. These crochet dresses and old leather jackets made the collection special. The collection showed that fashion can be new and old at the time with these things, like the crochet dresses and the handmade leather jackets and other handmade things, like the crochet dresses. The collection was also very sustainable with a focus on eco- materials and production methods. For example the cotton used in the collection was sourced from farms and the synthetic materials were made from recycled plastics.
