Every fall I start looking for a new winter coat, and every fall I spend at least 24 hours staring at my bank account, trying to rearrange the numbers so I can justify buying a Burberry number (and every fall again, I fail). And it looks like I'll be doing the exact same thing in 2020: Irina Shayk walked the Burberry runway (opens in new tab) in a black vinyl coat. I love this coat. I need this coat. I would give my first child to Burberry to get this coat.

Burberry's show at London Fashion Week saw supermodels such as Joan Smalls, Hadids, and Kendall Jenner walk the runway alongside the Sheikh. Smalls' three-piece suit, a fusion of classic Burberry tartan and Prince of Wales plaid, was a particularly standout look, as was Jenner's constructed tartan and white crepe skirt ensemble. But Shayk's coat would consume every waking hour in my dreams:

Earlier this month, Shayk spoke to British Vogue about his close friendship with Burberry's chief creative officer, Riccardo Tisci. My first impression of him was that he was very kind and down-to-earth. 'I feel like I've known him for a long time, even though I've never met him before in my life. I'm very honored and proud that this has developed into a true friendship."

Sheikh is also a big fan of Tisci's work. He says, "He doesn't just design great clothes, he delivers a message in them. And I love the diversity Riccardo brings to the runway. It's so modern, chic, youthful, classy, and cool at the same time. Every piece in the collection has soul. I agree with you, Irina. But I'm not going to make this about me, but how exactly do I put my soul into that coat?
