Burberry Prorsum Fall 2010

February 25, 2010

I’m flippin’ mad for this collection. Totally OTT crazy for it to the point that I almost pre-ordered that cropped shearling jacket while it’s still available…for like $3K. Almost. If only the fashion gods would rain manna in the form of money so I can keep up with my insatiable need for more clothes/outerwear/shoes/accessories.

Dennis Basso Fall 2010

February 18, 2010
