The colour and the shape

The Burberry Prorsum menswear collection was shown earlier today in London (of all places) and it would be an understatement to say that people liked it.  It's quite delicious.  Burb's is a huge International Power Brand but this collection returned to pay homage to its roots, the real British quirkiness of where it all began.

I couldn't help thinking about Hockney as I started flicking through the shots and subsequently read that the theme for the show was "Writers and Painters" - namely Alan Bennett and David Hockney.. (Jinx! Maybe something about the first model made me think of Hockney? I don't know)..

It's a stunning vivid collection of looks; grown up but boyish, tailored but casual, vibrant yet harmonious. Hip hip hooray!
