Burberry Prorsum Autumn Winter 2012 Womenswear Collection Runway Review: Burberry's Christopher Bailey looked to the directional trend of contrasting elements and fabrications and the house's history and combined town & country elements with rigorous styling that gave off a personal, quirky vibe. MORE: Burberry Brand Overall, the collection had a tight selection of silhouettes that all boasted a cinched, figure defining waist that was ladylike while at the same time universal in its age spectrum.

Naveed and I popped by The London Show Rooms in New York last week to take a close-up and intimate look at some of London's brightest designers. As always, we were mesmerized with the up close privilege of ogling at some incredible construction, innovative design, and left with a wish list days long from the generous talent of these young designers from "across the pond."

Shortly after the rigid snooze-fest that we've come to think of New York Fashion Week as comes to a wrap comes The London Show Rooms, an annual
