RUNWAY: Burberry SS17
What season is
Burberry showing? According to the British label, it's a mix of seasonless and Spring/Summer 2017. If that's not confusing enough, the collection showed some 70+ looks featuring both men's and women's but also pieces that could be worn by either. After a tumultuous past few years and a few c-suite shakeups, Burberry seems to be throwing
it-thing at a wall and seeing what sticks. The result was a bit of a mess, there were chunky cable knit sweaters, lacy shirts that looked like they were culled from grandma's doilies, and oversized coats, which are always Christopher Baiely's strongest skills and that continues here, even if not many people need wool coats for the summer.
