Burberry 2012 Resort: The (African) Print Story


“This collection started with our iconic heritage as the foundation. We really wanted to emphasize this feeling of artisanal and decorative pieces that had been touched by hand, celebrating craftsmanship but always with this playful element.”


–  CHRISTOPHER BAILEY (CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF BURBERRY)



“Bailey’s taken Burberry to Africa—or, at least, hinted that he’s been looking in that general direction for textile inspiration as well as the rows of colored wooden beads that festoon some of the shoes like tribal necklaces”. 

SARAH MOWER (VOGUE)  


This Burberry 2012 collection features fabrics “reminiscent of the wax-print technique used in Ghana, also appears as the lining of a stone-colored classic trenchcoat”.
