I am normally not very into Burberry at ALL but they killed it this season. Especially by perfecting the awkward diaper curtain Balenciaga AW 09 skirt (not as a knockoff, but as a way better version of a drapey skirt):
AMIRITELADIES?
Don't shoot the messenger.

I like the color combo in the las one a lot.
christopher did a knotted silk dress for a/w08 (my favorite prorsum collection) i think that was more an expansion/reimagining of that idea and less knockin ghesquiere but i totally see where you're coming from.

oh no I didn't mean they're knockoffs, just a way better drapey skirt! That dress you linked to is BEAUTIFUL though.
vair vair true. the colours are so pretty and light and silky! but i'm a bit pissed off at the whole strong shoulder thing. i mean, really burberry? YOU TOO? *le sigh*
I don't really get the Burberry feel out of it. Still, it looks pretty freakin awesome! Hooray for that!
Yes, indeed, it does not resemble Bulberry in the least. Still, it is quite wonderful!
splendid
some of my favourite outfits from FW so far.....
p.s Tavi your awsome
AGREED it was rather brill wasn't it!!!!
yes! i completely agree.
oh that link above to the dress IS very perfect! Agreed... I feel like balenciaga's skirt was far more awkward (not in a pretty sense) and burberry just made it a little prettier
pure gorgeousness!!!
yessss they definitely killed it with the draping!
I love the collection too, for sure one of the best of the entire LondonFW ;)

I'd have to agree.
I've already seen some pretty good DIY projects on a couple of the skirts!
P.s. I like your little profile pic, who did it for you?
I'm trying to find as many artists as I can!
i agree!!

i AGREE WITH tAVI!

Disagree completely. The Balenciaga silk draped skirts DID look half awkward on the models, however, in editorials, it rocked the socks off Obama. Ever seen Georgia May Jagger wear it? Absolutely exquisite.
I found burberry messy until the very end when it started to get very very beautiful, about the time the silver sparkles came in (matching Emma Watson's gold dress she wore to the show). Before that it got diaper-like, and accentuated womens hips in a bad way.
Burberry was actually one of my fav collections for S/S '10. I loved the drapey knotted shoulders too :)
burberry was DEFINITELY incredible. i concur :)

Okay well, let me just say that I am in love with you.
I haven't read your blog until now, but I've heard of you.
And you, are amazing.
Yeah.
That's it.
Marry me?
Wait no.. That's creepy.
..Yeah.
I totally noticed that too. Burberry wins in the draped skirt battle, hands down
different but not better?
I love the diapers
but not the shiny diapers so much
I want to see a lace diaper of cream colour that looks I am wearing a cloud
I like it too
BUT OMG THOSE MODELS ARE SO PAINFULLY SKINNY. Is the diaper for their laxitives?
I want...the yellow dress, so bad. It is beautiful~!!
I love the pastel yellow color, the way the fabric folds. The thin black belt is a nice middle piece. Her scrunched socks and heels go great with the dress. I just love the whole outfit. :)
honestly, burberry can DO NOOOOOO WRONG!!!
I LOVE BURBERRY!!

AHHH DRAPEY SKIRTS! BURBERRY!
i like the last one a lot! the tailored looking shoulders must have been tricky with the silky fabric - but looks gr8. the colours work well, and are well balanced - and most of all the diaper skirt here takes on more of an Arabian Nights look (whilst not going too far with it) :-))
yeah, dude. seriously, who knew? i never look twice at burberry, but now i'm thinking about drapey skirts. hm, i think i need to get out my sewing kit...
Oh, loves it.
Awesome!
Burberry is LOVE!
i adore these skirts!

The clothes are fine. I just like Sonia Rykiel and Jean Paul Gaultier better.
I think, dear Tavi, that you are a fake, just like the little JT Leroy was.
But it's so hard to get noticed nowadays, isn't it ?
The fabrics and colours have a mostly lustrous quality that I like. The diaper curtain skirts are a touch hit and miss and the designs could all have stood to be slightly higher waisted ala Vision in Blue in photo no. 3 (and photo no. 6)
Seasonally speaking, it's on target
I've always loved Burberry Men though! It makes me wish I were a man, with broad, strong shoulders... sigh! Especially the 2008 bright colour collection, ommgggg. Oh to have a boyfriend that's fashion conscious and is not afraid to wear whatever he wants!
Love Burberry show at London fashion Week. Especially trench... :)
Girl, you rule. Big hug from Argentina. ;)
you are as usual...
SO RIGHT haha.. burberry is amazing!!
especially rihgt now!
this is the best they have ever been!

Hello Tavi,
As you love thrift stores I wondered if you might be able to add some of your favourites to our interactive googlemap. I'm trying to get loads of vintage/thrift stores all on one big map so that they're easily searchable by users.
Make sense? Here's the map:

I agree! but something is missing in this collection.....mmmmmmmm
Burberry, Balenciaga... Y'know what? They're both pretty rad.
I love every piece that is shown here! abso fab.
Tavi! This is Jen from fredflare.com! We are so head over heels for you! We just posted a blogginz about you... Here's the link! I would LOVE to do an interview so PLEASE email me with your contact info! (A photo shoot in our future, perhaps?) Here's the link to the cute lil post we did on you: http://www1.fredflare.com/blog/?p=4549
Hell yeah!
I like that light cream dress. That is something I would wear.
I couldn't fault with the Burberry collection AT ALL! That sparkling coat towards the end was amazing, as soon as I saw the photo of Emma Watson arriving at the show in that gold dress, I knew it was going to be stunning.
I've had a post of my own on it too...take a look :)
Also, that Balenciaga skirt looks alot more elegant I think, but preferring the heavy knots of Bailey :)

Burberry can do no wrong in my eyes! Christopher kills it every season
okok
I agree with one of your past statments that fashion like this is an art. Have to admire they way each fold in the skirt/fabirc is like the stroke of a pencil. The fabric chosen also gave it such a smooth feeling to each crease in the outfit. And the shadows even look good too!
Makes me so giddy.
See I always love Burberry but I agree that they completely nailed it this collection.
Love the pastel colours and the sequins!

I'm not a big fan of Burberry, but i definitely agree on the skirt thing. Oh yeah, please read my post on my blog... i have a question for you :)
Hi Tiny,
greate, very greate and I like the hosiery of the legs too !

You are very cool. I wish I were like u when I was 13.
Hi there... This may seem weird, but I find your Blog amazing! Weird, because I am a 51 year old woman In south central Missouri, and I know not a thing about fashion. I just srarted reading your Blog, and I can't stop. It has really fired my imagination, even though I have no idea who or what most of it is about. I think it appeals to me because I am a flower gardener, and a Polymer Clay jewelry artist. I guess we all create art in our own way.
Please continue to follow your dreams. Just remember that these years you are at home, are the best ones for trying your wings...when you don't have to work a real job.

Oh, I love this collection.
And Kathy^ ?
You totally made me laugh.
"It has really fired my imagination, even though I have no idea who or what most of it is about.
Fascinating people hang out in Ms. Style Rookie's comment section.
I like them all except the pale pink one near the end the way its folded and draped at the crotch kind of makes it look like a front wedgey.. or is that just me? lol
magpie-girl.blogspot.com xx
As a Mommy, I can appreciate the someone who knows how to do up a diaper. The ones on the right look like my rookie days LOL!
No,keep the diapers, they remind me of my childhood!
Keep your style it reminds me of who I am.
Keep your pen and this blog, it makes me smile a lot more!
bisous Miri
Im behind you here. Great skirts!!
gorgeous!
hey, have you ever seen Picnic at Hanging Rock? I think you would like the fashions happening in that movie.
congratulations, i love it!
you're so cute :x bye bye
kisses :*
i totally agree. sometimes the execution of that drapey effect is way overdone, but that line is perfect in my eyes :) your awesome, chick!
♥ bray
Nicholas Ghesquiere was known to straight up take Kaisik Wong and literally copy it verbatim (visually) for his runway collection.
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/09/nyregion/is-copying-really-a-part-of-the-creative-process.html?pagewanted=all
I'm not sure where the references for this collection came from but you never know, he might have ripped the whole "window drapes on your thighs" thing too.
It's nice to see them getting away from the 'chav' tag they had a few years ago but honestly - that looks a little too like nappies that need changing for my liking and so unkind to a woman with any kind of hips!
Nice pictures, I think that it was a great show, really "phénoménal".
Yup the skirts are perfection

yeah i realised that too as soon the Burberry show started .. but they both look great in diferent senses
bissou!
Way too similar for my liking... but I do agree, Burberry did it better. To be honest with you and I know this will come back to haunt me... I thought this collection of Balenciaga was quite ugly.
was just wondering whether Balenciaga skirts could have been inspired by the dhotis that Indian men wear.
http://www.upasana.in/files/Dhoti.jpg
it's almost like a mini dhoti if such things could exist
ooooooo i love these! i really want to go out, but some of this material, and make an amazing draped dress like these. :)
Just because the draping is awesome and well done, doesn't make it right--Still looks like a diaper.
I like colorful clothes
great blog :D
i looove this.
urban outfitters have a draped skirt. i must get it now or design one..
draped skirts are beautifulllll it reminds me of royal castles lol
I agree with you :) Burberry was the boom this season!
