IS RICCARDO TISCI DOING A GREAT JOB AT BURBERRY?

When Riccardo Tisci has arrived at the Burberry it was really a big sensation. With the strong visual impact that Tisci has, it was really a pure excitement to see how his design visions for Burberry will look like. With the first collection, he re-set the original Burberry aesthetic that was more on the classic side nurturing the tradition of this big British brand. With the second one, Pre-Fall 2019 he has emerged more as the individual designer who has turned the already known Burberry style to another level. In the other words, this collection was in the pure Tisci spirit.

The smart and good tailoring that considers fluid and soft forms and that is a must when we talk about Burberry was a starting point of this collection. The trenchcoat at its modern version this time was dispersed into the sleek and structured coats or capes. The one thing that was so Burberry was the color and the leather lines that followed the stitches. The rest was all new and innovative design with the high element of the luxurious refinery!

Seems like the fluent and easy-going lines were definitely something that was a guideline and inspiration for Riccardo Tisci for this collection. The wide pants with the cashmere lightness, the cotton soft coat on the top have introduced a mellow chic into the world of Burberry. As the collection went on the structure imperative has really toned down and capitulated in the form of the silky blouses and light glamour in the dresses. But the extravagant pulse was set in the form of puffers jackets with the big logos and Burberry famous prints. They were formed as the uber size stolas or, again, the capes and just that has brought the innovative spirit to the traditional Burberry design.

Seems that the aesthetic that was built around this item was the turning point, the juxtaposition of this collection. For Burberry is all about the trenchcoats, but for Tisci seems that he likes the idea of (re)building the focus of that, the variations that correspond more on the chic and classic side with the edgy assertive note. With the mix of soft and delicate textures like in this collection with the more structured and robust volumes seems like Riccardo Tisci builds the new aesthetic of Burberry. Respecting the house and the legacy of it, but introducing some innovations. And they will be even more present in the future collections, no doubt to that!
