WITH THE NEW SPRING SUMMER 2020 COLLECTION BURBERRY EVOLVES IN A NEW FUTURISTIC STATUS

Text by: Annarosa Laureti

Since last year – when the Italian designer became the new Burberry’s creative director – Riccardo Tisci has been taking care of the history and heritage of the British brand, bringing to light precious antiques with a modern twist (and the new maison logo is definitely proof of this!).

Always following the wishful and dreamy thought of the very founder Thomas Burberry – “he was a daring innovator but also a romantic” – and after recoding Burberry’s universe, for the new Spring Summer 2020 Collection Tisci decided to reform the Kingdom’s rules.

The designer described Evolution as “a collection inspired by our past and dedicated to our future”. While its starting point remains the past – the Victorian Age – the final result is futuristic and innovative: classic fabrication mixes with technical ones and Victorian-inspired silhouettes enrich with extra and elaborated sleeves, cut-out details, fringes and waists cinched by belts. For her, mini lengths on the front extend to the back thanks to trains, while the suit calls for pleated fluid pants.

Gentlemen suit sees textural contrasts and pinstripes in crystal embroideries while T-shirts and hoodies refine with romantic lace details. Gingham patterns match with high stripes motifs while lettering logo appears on delicate ruffled shirts.
