Burberry, the international luxury brand, has announced the launch of its Spring 2007 Icons Accessories Collection.

The Burberry Icons Collection takes its influence from the company’s portfolio of heritage details, as well as the season’s ready-to-wear collections. Bags are the focus of the collection, with new silhouettes as well as new iterations of key styles - the Knight, Ashcombe, Bromley, The Beaton and Baby Beaton, The Manor and Mini Manor.

The Burberry shoe collection also offers a variety of styles: stiletto, platform sandals, strappy sandals, platform wedges, court shoes, sling backs, Victorian ankle boots, driving shoes, ballet flats, espadrilles, thong sandals, solid wellies, micro stud belt detail as well as belt print wellies.

Additionally, the Burberry check comes in iconic colours this Spring, in black and white with black or white leather detail to complete the colour palette. Accessories also come in regimental red, military gold tones and bright white as key fashion statements, as well as grape, ochre, tobacco and tan, black, chocolate, tan and cognac.

Vanessa Bruno may not be the most well known name in the fashion world, but if she keeps designing pieces like the $322 Square Neck Dress, I’m sure we’ll be hearing much more about her in the future. This adorable shift style dress is trendy and demure all at the same time. The silhouette hangs from the body and actually adds added width because of the pleats at the neckline. This type of shape isn’t the best look for every figure, but it would look perfect with a belt, especially on girls with curvy figures. The most memorable thing about the Square Neck Dress are the draped sleeves which almost resemble a bow. But still, there’s nothing childish about this look. And the deep red color will go perfectly with sheer black stockings.
