Burberry COMME des GARCONS Trench.

 

Last year Rei Kawakubo collaborated with Burberry to produce a most unusual piece, of a hybrid tartan and fur trench.  They've come together once again this year, with this rock-n-roll trench.

This comes of course as a product of Burberry's new creative director, Daniel Lee, wanting to create statement pieces that get people talking, and to show he's taking the brand in a new direction.  It's pretty unlikely anyone will wear this, as it looks faintly ridiculous.  Not to mention being impractical, and overpriced at £3,500.

But that's not the point, the point is to encourage precisely what is happening now, attention to be paid.  It is however always interesting to see what these brands do in attempts for relevance and interest.  Especially when it's a "new-broom" type situation. 

Disagree?  You're wring, but you can buy it now if you really want to.
