Gentlewoman style: Burberry SS19 ad campaign

Burberry just unveiled its first ad campaign under Riccardo Tisci. I like that it used a range of different photographers rather than just one, including the brilliant Nick Knight (below, with models standing in front of a painting by British artist, Jenny Saville) alongside two of my other faves, Colin Dodgson (above) and Letty Schmiterlow.

And in a further push for inclusivity, it’s featured Stella Tennant who is one of my favourite 90s models (more…)

First impressions: Riccardo Tisci for Burberry SS19

Burberry ss19 by Jamie Stoker for Vogue International

First impressions of Ricccardo Tisci for Burberry SS19 aka New Burberry? I thought he was very smart to open on those super grown up, chic, gentlewomanly pieces.

There was a little bit of Burberry check, but executed in a nuanced, respectful way, rather than the brash check of last season. (more…)

Riccardo’s new Burberry vision

Ok I’m feeling this version of Burberry. Riccardo Tisci’s 3.0 vision of Burbs is youthful, cool, but classic enough not to alienate core customers like me.

What will Burberry 3.0 with Riccardo Tisci look like?

Riccardo Tisci to Burberry

Well, I wasn’t expecting this! I was really hoping for Phoebe Philo at Burberry, but it appears the rumours that she’s not going anywhere else following her Celine departure are true. So news broke today that Riccardo Tisci will replace Christopher Bailey as chief creative officer of Burberry from 12th March.

It will be a relief for the internal teams. Having a directionless brand is not good for morale, and Tisci certainly has form for reinvention and strong, decisive branding. (more…)
