Hurrah! Burberry!

Click on image for larger version.Yay, I finally found the tearsheet of the gold Burberry rah-rah skirt! This came from British Vogue one or two years ago, and I was taken with it because of the resemblance of Stella Tennant’s skirt to my own (click here to see it).

I also saw the skirt in colour in a fashion spread somewhere, and recall it was more of a cool, greeny tone; I much prefer the warm hue of mine, rich like 24ct gold. The asymmetric cut of this skirt is interesting though, and I do love the micro-pleating.

Amusingly, the short, ugly vest I was forced to buy with the skirt was also quilted, just like the coat Kate Moss is wearing. I’m sure my skirt predates this duo by several years however, possibly even to the 80s when rah-rah skirts were all the rage. I was chuffed by the similarity though, and chuckled over the undoubted disparity in the price. I’m sure there’d be the several zeros I’d have to add to the $25 I paid for mine!
