Burberry is poised to make a major statement at London Fashion Week, where fashion enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the highly anticipated debut of Riccardo Tisci at the helm of this iconic British luxury brand. This change in leadership, the first in 15 years for Burberry, brings an Italian flair to a city renowned for its celebration of British designers, adding an element of excitement and intrigue to the upcoming event.
Set to take place on Monday, September 17th, Tisci’s inaugural collection is just one of the many highlights on a packed schedule featuring 70 collections and designer presentations throughout the week. Tisci’s close relationship with CEO Marco Gobbetti, stemming from their time together at Givenchy, bodes well for the future of Burberry under his creative direction.
Known for his eclectic blend of Mediterranean influences, religious imagery, and high-end streetwear, Tisci has wasted no time making his mark on Burberry by unveiling a fresh logo and a vibrant plaid color palette. The decision to eliminate fur from Burberry’s designs aligns with the fur-free stance of the British Fashion Council for the season, signaling a step towards greater sustainability and ethical fashion practices.
In addition to the buzz surrounding Burberry’s latest chapter, fashion enthusiasts are also looking forward to Victoria Beckham’s return to London, along with exciting debut runway shows from Alexa Chung and Nicholas Kirkwood. The newly appointed chairman of the British Fashion Council, Stephanie Phair, is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the event, following in the footsteps of her predecessor Natalie Massenet, who championed support for emerging UK talent.
London Fashion Week is shaping up to be a dynamic mix of established designers and up-and-coming stars, with Tisci’s highly anticipated Burberry debut undoubtedly stealing the spotlight as the most eagerly awaited show of the season.
