The collaboration series between Burberry and Vivienne Westwood is now on sale, we bring you a complete analysis

When you think of the UK, what are the first keywords that pop into your mind? Queen, corrupt country, England, punk, gentleman, football... Britain may be one of the most contradictory or tolerant countries on the planet. This contradictory trait is also very obvious from the perspective of the fashion industry. Riccardo Tisci invited Vivienne Westwood for his first collaboration after becoming the creative director of Burberry. One symbolizes traditional British style, and the other is a benchmark for British fashion radical punk. How the two can collide has become the most popular topic for fashion fans at the end of the year. One of the things to look forward to.

Late last week, the magical collaboration between Burberry and Vivienne Westwood was officially launched. This collaboration uses a very simple cooperation idea - combining Burberry's iconic retro plaid and Vivienne Westwood's An addition to a classic style. The Scottish plaid itself is one of the most representative elements in the Queen Mother's designs. The use of plaid elements can be seen in her early works in the 1980s. This time, "The Queen Mother's design was replaced with Burberry plaid." The aspect of "grain" is very tempting for fans.

If you are not a student who is very familiar with the designs of the Queen Mother, you may not be sure of the special features of the design when you see this joint series. For market reasons, both parties chose the masterpieces of the Queen Mother. It is a relatively easy-to-manage item. It may not look very special at first glance, but the details are actually very interesting.

The Queen Mother likes to use extreme waist and open chest designs on coats. This time the two parties reproduced a short coat from Vivienne Westwood’s 1993 autumn and winter series, which is Naomi Campbell’s classic throw. ’s press conference, and a similar pair of waterproof high-heeled shoes that caused Lao Mi to fall were also included in this joint venture.

A double-breasted jacket that first appeared in Vivienne Westwood’s 1990 men’s collection also appears in the joint series. This jacket is very representative of the entire series. At first glance, it seems very conventional, but There are many special designs in details. The chest pockets are designed diagonally, the number of waist pockets is also asymmetrical, the pointed lapel shape is exaggerated, and the waist position is higher than that of ordinary jackets.

Burberry’s classic plaid shirts may be considered by many students as items belonging to their parents’ generation. There is also a shirt in this cooperation series, and the design is quite cool. We think it is the most wearable item in the entire series, with an exaggerated pointed collar design that can be opened as a collar or tied up. Models with different temperaments, skin colors, ages, and genders wear the same shirt in different styles.

The plaid miniskirt is also a very punk style item. The most extreme thing is that the skirt is above the hips. There are two miniskirts of different lengths in the joint series. The long version features a pleated skirt with leather buckles, while the short version has an asymmetrical hem and is lined with Liberty print. Both short skirts and stockings or trousers are worn in a very Western style.

As for pants, the Queen Mother likes to make a fuss about the waist, such as using asymmetrical techniques. The two joint trousers this time are generally more practical, with some special details on the waist. One of the cotton trousers is decorated with special zipper details and polyurethane transparent material.

Using handwritten slogans as printed designs on clothing is also a common technique used by the Queen Mother. This joint series with Burberry will donate proceeds to the rainforest protection charity Cool Earth. The Queen Mother also specially designed a T-shirt supporting Cool Earth. In addition to the slogan, there is a Vivienne Westwood cross-Saturn logo on the chest and a Cool Earth logo on the back.

Accessories may be the most popular part of the entire series. The berets decorated with badges, printed stockings, and ties with raw edge designs are all very cute.

This collaboration has a setting worth noting. Although it is divided into men’s and women’s clothing, in fact, most of the items are gender-neutral designs. You can also find high heels and kilts in the men’s clothing catalog. There will also be special sizes for single items. For example, Burberry's high heels are generally available in sizes up to size 41, but this time they are available in sizes up to size 44.

Overall, this is a joint brand with a strong commercial atmosphere, but the advantage is that it will be easier to control. This series is currently on sale, with prices ranging from 800 yuan (socks) to 14,500 yuan (jacket). You can buy it through the Burberry official website. Of course, the joint series will also be available in designated Burberry stores - domestically, there are SKP in Beijing and Jing'an in Shanghai.
