# Lambent Outerwear Ensembles The Burberry Prorsum Spring 2012 Collection is Spectacular and Regal By Souzan Michael | Published 2011-09-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-prorsum-spring-2012 References: [style](http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2012RTW-BURBERRY) & [fashionologie](http://www.fashionologie.com/Burberry-Prorsum-Spring-2012-19134273) There are some designer collections that the entire fashion world awaits patiently for every season, and the [Burberry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-summer-2024) Prorsum Spring 2012 is part of this elite group of fashion's best. Never one to be outdone or imitated, Burberry released stunningly sophisticated pieces this season. Staying true to the fashion house's world-famous trench coats and outerwear, young designer Christopher Bailey presented some of the most beautiful outerwear to be seen in recent seasons. However, rather than showing them in their typical camel and sandy hues, the coats were presented in gorgeous jewel tones like green, blue, and my personal favorite, deep purple. The Burberry Prorsum Spring 2012 collection also hints at a [subtle tribal influence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection), which was incredibly popular in other collections this season. [Prints and patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splendid-srping-2025) also adorned much of the clothing, which is a rare sight at Burberry. Christopher Bailey described the collection as "Joyous, upbeat, nostalgic," and those terms fit the Burberry Prorsum Spring 2012 collection to a tee -- or trench, shall I say? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Jewel-toned Outerwear:** Opportunity for designers to incorporate bold, rich colors into their outerwear collections. - **Tribal Influence:** Potential for designers to infuse tribal elements and motifs into their collections in a modern and unique way. - **Prints and Patterns on Outerwear:** Opportunity for designers to experiment with incorporating prints and patterns onto traditionally solid-colored outerwear pieces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion and Apparel:** Fashion brands can use these trends as inspiration for their upcoming outerwear collections. - **Textile and Fabric Manufacturing:** Increased demand for bold and colorful fabrics and prints could drive innovation in the production of textiles and fabrics. - **Retail and E-commerce:** Retailers and e-commerce sites can use these trends to inform their inventory management and product selections for the upcoming season. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Timeless Clothing Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-classics.md) - [Botanically Inspired Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-x-highgrove.md) - [Vibrant Bold Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bruceglen.md) - [Lunar New Year-Celebrating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-new-year-2024-collection.md) - [Royal Garden-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-3.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Avant Garde Seasonal Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brucolic.md) - [Opulent Valentine's Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-2.md) - [Luxury Lunar Year Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-lunar-year.md)
