Christopher Bailey's work for Burberry Prorsum, the runway collection of the British brand known for trench coats and that plaid print, is amazing. Season to season, he always creates something new and fashion forward while honoring the lines 150+ year history, and the 2010 resort collection is no exception.

It's cloud-like and delicate, in a palette of the softest pastels and neutrals. It's also full of fabric innovation, something Burberry has been known for since introducing gabardine in 1880. For example, a jacket that looks like it is made of tulle at first glance is actually leather with shaved "eyelash" trim. Overall, there is a dream-like quality to the collection that takes your breath away.
