THE UNDENIABLE TRENCH:
The trench coat got its start in menswear for the military with both Burberry and Aquascutum stating that they designed the very first ones ever for War. Burberry is believed to have designed it for the British military before the first world war. So whether it was invented in 1850 or 1901 one thing is certain it is here to stay!
Harper's Bazaar brought us one of the first images of a woman in a trench coat in 1918. It has been reworked almost every fashion season: in leather, fur, faux,polyester,patterns and much much more throughout the years! This fall will be no exception so go for it, Be The Femme Fatale In Your Favorite Trench.
