Burberry Explores Family and Familiarity in Pre-Fall 2022

January 19, 2022

British heritage label Burberry has introduced its latest collection by chief creative officer Riccardo Tisci for the Pre-Autumn/Winter season. The collection is the first in a series titled “Friends and Family,” in which Burberry takes on themes of intimacy, togetherness, and self-expression at an intersection with the rich history and ubiquity of the label. The motif of familial warmth extends beyond the symbolic, with a distinct emphasis on outerwear in the collection. Beautiful layering and intricately detailed winter garments show that Burberry remains at the forefront of fashion under Tisci’s direction.

The creative head of the British powerhouse says of the inspiration behind the collection, “I wanted to explore a different experience bringing my collections to life, so I have decided to open up my pre-collection to a new creative voice each season…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.” With no shortage of idiosyncrasy or voice, designs from the latest collection come to life through signature oversized silhouettes and geometric, reconstructed details. As we step into a new year, it will be fascinating to see how Burberry will continue to captivate us with its ever-evolving designs rooted in its robust heritage.

Escaping the Glass Cage

November 19, 2024

For years, she stood still, watching life rush past her, a quiet observer behind the glass. Now, the glass is broken, and she steps out into the unknown. She walks through the city, caught between two worlds—part of it, yet apart from it.

Her journey is quiet but bold, searching for something she’s never understood, something just out of reach. On church steps and under glowing city lights, she questions everything: the rules, the past, and where she truly belongs. Each step feels both freeing and uncertain.

A curious soul in a borrowed life, she keeps moving forward, leaving behind only whispers of her escape, like a fleeting shadow in the night.
