The Burberry Weather boys shashayed down the runway sporting oversize sculptural outerwear,blanket wool coats in buffalo check,quilted blousons, cashmere and cable knitwear and pleated trousers with elasticised waist.The collection was very British with heritage and rock influences blending perfectly whilst colours moved into more primal shades black and dark charcoal but there was also the necessary hint of vibrancy ,as anyone would expect from Christopher Bailey's designs,that resulted in combinations of bright royal blue,honey and red.
Immediately after the show, visitors to the site were able to order outerwear and bags from the collection using instant messaging functionality to receive immediate product information and place an order ('Click to Chat') or by clicking for an instant call back by a Burberry salesperson to place an order ('Click to Call').
