The Burberry Prorsum Mens Collection is always one of the highlights of the Milan fashion calendar and for AW12 it once again did not disappoint. Christopher Bailey seems to have the midas touch of late and the collection was a triumph from start to finish. The tailoring in this collection was stunning and showed the brand is intent on making their mark on the mens sartorial domain. The opening looks showcased a selection of beautiful grey suits which paired with tweed flat caps and english resin animal head umbrellas (which are a perfect winter accessory) completely immersed you in the english gentleman mood. Alongside the tailoring was a very nice selection of knitwear with varying necklines and unique patterning but very much kept the very clean cut, smart aesthetics of the rest of the show. I thought the collection flowed beautifully and as you would expect from Burberry ended with some strong outerwear and also some very interesting velvet suits in autumnal shades. Altogether it was another faultless outing for the brand, even when critiquing the small details in the brightly coloured suede gloves and leather shoulder strapped umbrellas there was no real weaknesses to be found. In the words of a gentleman bravo...
