Just when you think a luxury  brand with the prestige ,history and craftmanship like Burberry would have the sense to not go there,they do.When we featured the Burberry s/s 09 ads a while back,that oddly resembled a well styled Gap or CK ad I tought they would introduce a couple of styles for the purposes of styling and versatility.

Non madame,Burberry is launching a full on denim line of six styles:skinny,boot leg,wide,flare,straight and cigarette,with three different rises.For a luxury brand to do denim is not wrong in essence,but isin’t it too late in the game when niche brands and celeb endorsend labels have already taken over?All I have to say is good luck!

We introduced you to Esther Perbandt last year,as one of the serious contenders of modern design fo women.Her s/s 09 Collection titled "Wildly Structured" sees Perbandt adding handbags to her line of modern urban apparel,with an emphasis on  volume,texture and of course structure. I’m totally smitten!
