The month of June should be fashion downtime for The Established Man fashion desk, we thought we were off to Antibes for a bit of beach time as we were thrust onto the Easyjet flight to Milan, hey the days of first class on BA are officially ovah! But its good to be back in Milan and there is nothing better than jumping two seasons and perusing what we'll be wearing next Summer. So what's to be had, get pre-ordering gents as we're certain the waiting lists will be worse than a queue at LIDL.
We kicked off proceedings with home grown talent and Burberry Prorsum, always a winner at The Established Man towers, we were pondering how Christopher Bailey would triumph over his last collection for Spring Summer 09 what with those silky knits and 'in the garden crumpled macs' in earthy mustard's and aubergines. For Spring Summer 2010 Bailey's left tending to the borders in his glorious gardens and packed up the Land Rover and actually headed for the Borders it would seem. Things have got a whole lot more utilitarian to say the least. So cue lots of pocketing, strap details, wax cotton canvas jackets and the obligatory rucksack. Padded jackets whisked down the runway in a multitude of traditional styles thinking we might have to upgrade our Barbour versions pretty swiftly! There were wonderful moments that bore reminiscence to childhood, the bright red raincoats and pale blue jackets had us thinking the Burberry Design team had gotten a hold of our holiday snaps from 1983. Obviously this being a Prorsum show things sharpened up with suiting and mac's in lightweight lux threads in navy, grey, and beige's. There's always plenty of fine knitwear to be had too and in off-white's, greys and pastels summer 2010 is already shaping up to be the perfect English summer if Burberry has anything to do with it.
