Burberry by Riccardo Tisci

Riccardo Tisci presented his first collection for Burberry with a show that paid homage to the individuality, eccentricity and inimitable attitude of Britain.

THE COLLECTION

The Burberry Spring/Summer 2019 collection for men and women, called “Kingdom”, was unveiled at a new show venue in Vauxhall, South West London.

Look 3 Classic with a twist
Look 13 Great from workday to happy hour evening.
Look 14 That belt pouch is definitely popular these days.
Look 22
Look 29
Look 39 Couldn't love that phone/card holder belt more!
Look 44 Feathers added onto a classic trench coat & skirt.
Look 68 Modern Trench Coat.
Look 79 Those bell-sleeves are to die for!
Look 81
Look 82 Those shoes definitely looked comfortable.
Look 83
Look 128 Simple and elegant.
Look 132 Elegant in Black
Look 134 Totally appropriate for a formal event.

The new collection celebrates the diversity and the heart of England – the melting pot of creativity and style traditions from the punk and rebellious, to the formal and refined. In my opinion, it’s a little crowded just like London itself. I find that there’s too many pieces to digest in one show. Albeit, I must say the color scheme was pleasant.

Look 48 That belt look like a bicycle chain and lock.
Look 53
Look 60
Look 98 Clean and comfortable.
Look 101
Look 105
Look 116 Keep dry at all times and with style!
Look 122 Printed top, belt pouch and trench coat. What can be better than this?
Look 123

LOGO & PRINTS

Look 27 Love the original Burberry print!
Look 21 A very different way of wearing pants.
Look 73
Vintage Print on Bag & Coat.

The new monogram celebrates the heritage of the fashion house in a return to the spirit of its founder, Thomas Burberry. Logo and prints will appear across all of Burberrys channels and in a new advertising campaign for the brand.

BURBERRY & THE ENVIRONMENT

Look 92 Instead of real fur, Riccardo designed the top as print.
Look 96 Deer print as trench coat. 100% environmental friendly!
Look 110 Animal prints for menswear too.

Earlier this month, Burberry confirmed that it will no longer use real fur starting with Riccardo’s debut runway collection for Burberry. That wins my heart hands down! That itself would attract many environmental friendly crowd to invest in Burberry’s faux fur coats. I’m definitely one of them.

In addition, Burberry also announced that it will stop the practice of destroying unsaleable products. I guess this way, Burberry will make better planning for production, and would consider not making products excessively.

Functional design for rainy weather in London. Not the bicycle chain as belt though..

“I was thinking a lot about journeys as I started putting together my first Burberry collection. From my personal journey back to London 20 years after I showed my graduate collection here, to how far I have come. I was also inspired by how much London – the city that made me dream to become a designer – has evolved. This show is a celebration of the cultures, the traditions and the codes ofthis historic fashion house and of the eclecticism that makes up the beautifully diverse United Kingdom.”
