The Burberry Prorsum SS13 show was one of the highlights of LFW for me - no surprise there. The surprise was that, in outerwear terms, for once I could overlook Christopher Bailey's manipulations of the classic trench coat because there's a new shape in town to supersede it - the cape. Earlier this year, slinging your coat nonchalantly over your shoulders as though you'd forgotten it had sleeves became the way to wear it. Clearly Bailey seems to have realised that sleeves are merely an obstruction of style as he's removed them altogether for next season. Where before I saw pretension in wearing my coat over my shoulders, with this you have no choice. Perfect.
