It seems Burberry's Christopher Bailey has replaced the rose-coloured glasses of Spring with a cup of lilac wine for the romantic, bohemian A/W 2014 men's show he presented in Kensington Gardens yesterday. With straining Jeff Buckley covers over the airwaves, Bailey's parade was entitled 'A Painterly Journey', and made a sensual case for rich, leafy autumnal colour, print and artisanal decoration. Mesh tank tops and generous, unbuttoned bowling shirts underpinned the gallery of luxe outerwear options, from chocolate fringed suede and appliqué oak leaf greatcoats to a deep emerald mink and a series of unlined buffalo leather - roller-painted with thick brushstrokes. Filling out the accessories offering were elongated carpet bags and Mondrian check cashmere scarves (breezing about under thick pile shearling). Hand-rolled silk foulards came knotted across the shoulders, as did blankets for the finale, in a nonchalant styling affectation fit for the season's wayward, travelling poet.
