Faubourg Babylon

Burberry Exclusive for Colette

12th January 2010

The inspiration


At the creative direction of Burberry since 2001, Christopher Bailey has propelled the British brand on the hype Fashion scene. Last but not least, a sublime collaboration with the Parisian concept store Colette. Bailey rejuvenates Burberry’s everlasting icon, the beige trench coat.

The trench coats


Colette will offer two exclusive items for the Spring-Summer 2010 Burberry’s collection: a double breasted trench coat and a trench jacket. In direct line from his Burberry Prorsum last collection, Bailey proposes two extraordinary creations delicately shaped with drapes, at the back for the trench coat and at the shoulders for the jacket.
Cut in Burberry’s classic trench gabardine with a washed effect finish, the two pieces are spiced up by a rock’n roll detail: on top of the usual piece of tartan, Bailey has added gold spikes on the reverse of collar. These limited edition are labelled “Burberry exclusive for Colette”.

How to get it?


The two coats will enter Colette’s windows on Monday 22nd of February and will be available one week (exactly from February 22nd to 27th). The announced price tags are 1995€ for the jacket and 2495€ for the trench coat. More photos on Burberry exclusive pieces for Colette website
