Tradition

I will be honest and admit that this post started from that first image. I loved it so much that I simply had to build up a post around it. The power a photography has, how it triggers our imagination, the stories it weaves in a matter of seconds. The bow in the hair, the gold jewelry, the warm background and the light in the photo made me think of the holiday season that is almost upon us. A season and a Burberry coat that will always have something in common: tradition. Because isn’t this what the holidays are about? Returning to traditions, to your roots, reuniting with your dear ones and finding strength to move forward. Just as the House of Burberry does: drawing inspiration from its century-old heritage, Christopher Bailey constantly reinvents its classic styles and makes the traditional British brand fashion-forward. After all, ‘Prorsum’ means forwards, doesn’t it?

    What you wrote is so true Ada: we are inspired by traditions all the time and in every field. And the example of Burberry is perfect to picture a very classic label that has been able to reinvent itself season after season. Thank you for the previous post on layering: I think it’s one of my favourite way of styling clothes! Have a great week!

    Hi Ada, its magic how one image can make you picture a sea of related things, presenting a whole feeling to you. Beautiful collage, traditions and winter are certainly there. The bow hair jewelry is so lovely!

    I like the coat very much and not only for the yellow or for the tailoring, but that type of closing it. I think it has a name, but I don’t know it! Help? 🙂
