The way the world is now, it is getting next to impossible to not be impatient and demanding. Everything is quick and instant. Vines, memes, Instagram etc. It’s all go, go, go. And Burberry is no stranger to this. After announcing that they will now be showing women’s and men’s collections together and that they will be available for purchase right after the show, they have released the first set of images to give us a taste.The images, shot by Mario Testino in the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, feature Burberry fav Jean Campbell as well as Cavan McCarthy and Alex Dragulele. And the clothes? Think Renaissance, faux peasanty, filthy rich aristocrat. It’s very that. Apparently the picture on Christopher Bailey’s inspiration board for the collection was Virginia Woolf’s Orlando so it makes sense. So to loosely quote Shakespeare (but not really) “To buy, or not to buy: that is the question”. And because we are greedy and demanding monster we want more. We can’t wait until the show to see the rest we want it now. Give it to us.
