Tough Love

As its Valentines weekend and the start of shows I thought I’d write a bit about both those things. First V day. The Burberry Prorsum SS11 show produced a long list of coveted items for me as they sashayed down the mirrored runway last September. The metallic shades, pops of neon and studded skins had everyone in a spin. Biker chic had firmly planted its feet here, British style. Balmain has been the leader in rock looks for many a season but after the hype of the Aviator show last season, Christopher Bailey turned his eye to the house trench to re invent, and produced “the nice girl turned tough.” Not quite as naughty as the French but naughty enough for the English.

Golden Prince

Ok, it’s definitely a throw back. No question. Prince is the soundtrack, gold, embellishment and bigger than last season shoulders. Bold statements have been made in the previous weeks, and then came Balmain. – Completely over the top but deliciously so. Gold embellishments were everywhere, brocade, fringing, sequinns and lamé.
