Helping to bridge the move from Summer to Fall comes the Burberry Prorsum Pre Autumn/Winter 2009 collection. The outerwear is strong as expected from Burberry with trenches in a variety of cuts – from the oversized military look to more drab style finishes. Strong knitwear also works well but I am still hesitant on the velvet. As Christopher Bailey puts it, “The season is about reinvention – redefining and re-modernising the core of what Burberry stands for with our authentic British spirit and point of view.”

Thanks to websites like this one, the overall speed of the fashion world has increased dramatically – Hence the need of pre-collections. Pre-collections are usually pretty short affairs, but Rag & Bone have released a mammoth range that would dwarf some designers mainline collections. This is by no means the entire collection, – we think that some of the pieces would be lost in translation unless they were seen styled – so we’ve left quite a few out. Prices range from $235 for the chambray shirts (pictured above) to $695 for some double-breasted macs.
