Christopher Bailey gave Burberry’s Spring 2008 collection the name Luxury Warrior, and as any mercenary in the cause of luxe ought to know, the key front in this war is jewelry. General Bailey, no fool, has come prepared—this season marks the launch of Burberry’s first-ever jewelry range, the better for the Burberry girl to armor herself in tribal-inspired bangles and chunky, flak-resistant necklaces, all of which have just recently arrived in stores. “I had in mind this English rose, growing thorns,” explains Bailey of his inspiration. “And the jewelry synced up perfectly with that—chic but bold. We’d played with bits and pieces of jewelry before, but Luxury Warrior really felt like the right season to introduce a more extensive collection.” The Burberry jewelry range will be yet more extensive for Fall, and to judge by the pieces previewed on the catwalk in Milan, the Luxury Warrior will be fighting the good fight through next winter, at least: Jagged gem necklaces worn over Burberry’s signature trench-tested outerwear send sure “don’t mess with me” signals, and spiked bangles could, if necessary, quite literally drive home the point. “She’s a tougher girl, the Burberry girl,” Bailey notes. “But the nice thing about having the full jewelry range is that she can be really pulled together, too.” Charge!
