Cloak-trench Burberry - the model that glorified the company and brought her worldwide fame. So far, various variations on this subject of outerwear have remained for Burberry some of the key collection items for both haute cuture shows and prêt-a-porter.
The history of the trench coat Burberry
In general, a trench coat is one of the varieties of a raincoat that protects against rainfall. It features design features: such raincoats are invariably double-breasted, with a turndown collar and shoulder straps, as well as cuffs, girdle and a cut at the back.
In 1879, Thomas Burberry first demonstrated the fabric he invented, which later becomes known as "gabardine." This fabric has unusual moisture-repellent properties, which was noticed in the milieu. And during the First World War, Thomas Burberry received an order for sewing special waterproof raincoats for the needs of the British air force. So the light and the famous Burberry cloak appears.
The print with a checkered pattern, which became a visiting card of the company, was also used for the first time in military uniform. From the fabric in the cage was made trench coat. Originally it was made in beige and sand colors, but later Thomas finished it, adding black, red and white stripes. It was this pattern that became known throughout the world as a Burberry Nova cage.
Burberry women's raincoats
Time passed, the war ended, and convenient and comfortable trench coat produced by the company Burberry stepped out of trenches in a peaceful life. At first, of course, this model of outerwear was perceived as purely masculine, but over time, after trousers and vests, women adopted and waterproof raincoats. They especially liked the weaker sex, since besides convenience and thanks to a compulsory belt at the waist, the women's coats from Burberry could perfectly emphasize the beautiful forms of its owner. In addition, these trench coats fit well with the strict image, in a kit in the style of military and safari and can even be combined with a romantic dress.
The modern trenches presented every season by Burberry during the shows, of course, differ from the original, historical design. Varies length: from the classical - to the knees, to the short - slightly covering the hip. There were inserts from the contrasting skin (the leather sleeves very relevant for the last several seasons are an example). The models are made entirely from fabric to cage, and from monophonic textiles, most often in sand tones. But what remains unchanged is the high quality of tailoring, the abundance of sewn parts and the highest quality of accessories.
