the collection was beautiful, a strong illustration of Burch’s intense focus on elevating her clothes without straying from the dedication to practical-chic that’s at the core of her brand.
Along the way, she focused on roomy silhouettes and reasonably defined shoulders. Among her more obvious nods to the era: Diana-worthy girlish puffed sleeves and abundant bows; fun with pants (track and harem); a waft of Ungaro here (side-draped bustier cocktail shakers), and Chanel there (tweeds, of course).
Burch offered a fine balance between tailoring and dresses, the former polished but relaxed, the latter often waist-conscious, but not exclusively so. A find of vintage hankies inspired ethereal slips and an interesting shirtdress, while its classic embroideries were reimagined as decoration on sweaters.
