For Burberry’s triumphant return to the runway, chief creative officer Riccardo Tisci set out to accomplish what the brand does best: a celebration of all things British. “The collection embodies an intangible essence that is Britishness, a unique fusion of honouring the beauty of the past, whilst also remaining focussed on the future,” describes Tisci of the check- and trench-clad looks that filed down the runway last March.
