BURBERRY Fall-Winter 2020 Collection
“The recent return to London, a city I discovered while still a student, caused me nostalgia. It's a place where I learned to be myself, and a city where I gained the confidence to be who I am today. I feel great pride in remembering the beginning of my career when I was a budding designer still learning the craft and looking for inspiration wherever I could find it.
The memories of this special time that shaped me as a designer inspired my new collection - from the places I visited and the people around me to the music that inspired me. It's part of my personal journey that I wanted to complement the brands and language I started to create here at Burberry Fashion House", said Riccardo Tisci, Chief Designer of Burberry Fashion House.
The Memories collection also reflects the rich heritage and uniqueness of these fashion houses - from the yellowish Burberry color palette and raincoats to classic costumes and loose-fitting coats. The latter are combined with new, contemporary silhouettes, patterns and fabrics.
