Burberry Autumn/Winter 2022 Pre-Collection

Burberry introduces its Autumn/Winter 2022 Pre-Collection, designed by Chief Creative Officer Riccardo Tisci.


WEBWIRE

I wanted to explore a different experience bringing my collections to life, so I have decided to open up my precollection to a new creative voice each season. Someone special to me who inspires me and whose unique creativity surrounds me in my personal life. Creativity means freedom and it is about empathy and communication with others. It is your voice, your identity, something inside you which you want to share with others. So, I was excited about the conversation that would happen when our creative worlds come together and see how their interpretation of my identity comes to life. I am thrilled to announce Lea T as my first partner for this new creative series debuting with the Autumn/ Winter 2022 pre-collection. Lea is my family, my love, not only someone so connected to animals and nature but also someone who is able to balance fierce femininity and an effortlessly gentle romantic softness. This series is about a celebration of identity, style and family.
Riccardo Tisci, Burberry Chief Creative Officer

The collection celebrates style and identity, togetherness and freedom, nature and the outdoors.

Here we see a modern twist on the house codes that have made Burberry the brand it is today. An eclectic British style melded with exploration and the ability to go beyond. Themes surrounding adventure and discovery, both in the physical world and on a personal level – removing the boundaries to creativity and self-expression.

The Autumn/Winter 2022 Pre-Collection is the first in the new creative series, Friends and Family. Riccardo Tisci will be partnering with inspiring creatives from unexpected backgrounds for each Pre-Collection. In a true celebration of togetherness, style and family, the creative partner will interpret the Burberry identity established since Tisci joined the house, styling the collection and bringing a personal creative identity to each show. For this collection, Riccardo partnered with Lea T who is a long-standing collaborator and a part of the Burberry family. She has featured as a model in Burberry campaigns and walked the Spring/Summer 2021 runway show.

The collection delves into the outdoors. Signature outerwear is refreshed in new oversized silhouettes with reconstructed details – inspired by a youthful and fresh interpretation of classic utility and exploration styles. This is seen on silk twill short-sleeve shirts, wool skirts and T-shirts featuring the new British Isles, mirrored globe and Monogram map prints. There is a continuation of the freedom of the British craft movement in the fluidity of dresses and geometric prints on jackets, overshirts and jumpers.

“Creativity is closely linked to our interests, to what surrounds us and to our passions. All this leads us to broaden our mind and creatively explore self-expression. This is one of the most important and deep challenges we have in this life because it has to do with reflection - the courage and strength you need to be able to understand who you are.

I have been working with Riccardo for many years and it was a great experience to do it from a new perspective this time because this creative series brilliantly highlights the people surrounding the creator who produced those clothes. Through this, Riccardo undresses himself and shares a new interpretation from someone close to him and he does that with great respect for their vision.

Today, Burberry is like a big window, a place where you can be free to build and a space to create wonderful things. Looking at the history of the brand, I see interesting things that can be linked to an urban life, but also the desire of those who escape to the wonderful woods of England. It’s the respect for this nature and one’s own nature that I wanted to explore, even if it goes outside the canons created by this society in which we live. It is essential to dare in life as long as we always respect our own nature.” Lea T, Stylist
