In 2007, when the ads came out featuring the beautiful Kate Moss wearing this silver baby doll Burberry Prorsum coat, the coat instantly sold out worldwide. Only a limited production was done of the coat and it is virtually impossible to find. It may be the single most recognizable coat they have produced, especially with the Kate Moss association. For me this really marked the point where Christopher Bailey came into his own and really started to push and raise the bar with the Prorsum division. On the runway it was look #28 and was featured endlessly in editorials worldwide.

It is cut in a dramatic baby doll silhouette that is fitted across the upper shoulder and high chest area. The rest of the coat swings out from there with remarkable fullness. In the back the volume begins from the panel that runs across the shoulder so has even more volume. The buttons are large silver tone metal buttons that have since become a signature feature and indeed, act as a design element here. The pockets sit on either side of the hip and each is accented with another large silver button. It can almost bee worn as a dress if you wish. The fabric is amazing and is extremely high tech and complicated. It is literally thin strips of aluminum metal woven through cotton cording and fabric. It is like an updated woven version of a twenties lame and it is surprisingly light weight and moves very well while still retaining its intended voluminous shape. Excellent, unworn condition.
