RUNWAY: Burberry FW16
Changes were afoot at
Burberry's FW16: first was the change in the name (the house decided to consolidate many of their superfluous lines into one range: Burberry), then came a more intimate runway show, with models and audience members mere inches apart, instead of the label's usual ultra-wide runway. Finally, the clothes were different as well. They were still tailored but slounchier and roomier, befitting the trend at nearly every collection. The mood was also considerably dark and moodier, take the Buffalo plaids and oversized military-surplus bombers, both of which gave the looks a grungey vibe. That being said, this is still Burberry, arguably the most important and famous British label so no matter how grungey or melancholy the clothes, they were still covetable, with plenty of bags (like their new satchels) and classic trenches to grab the attention of their loyal fans.
