February 23, 2016 By admin

By Li-mei Hoang LONDON (Reuters) – British designer Burberry sparked a debate at this year's London Fashion Week by skipping the usual six-month gap between putting its designs on the catwalk and into shops, prompting concern among smaller designers that they would be unable to compete. This season's fashion week, which runs from Feb. 19 to 23, included references to Shakespeare and British artist David Hockney. Burberry showcased snakeskin trench coats, contrasting metallic dresses and embellished shirts in rich autumnal tones.

Pleated skirts, rose-printed dresses and studded leather jackets, in saffron and tangerine, were seen at British fashion brand Mulberry, which returned to the catwalk for the first time after two turbulent years. Models sported a variety of accessories, from a tiny lifelike heart to oversized totes, which designer Johnny Coca said had been inspired by the works of Shakespeare and the streets of London.
