Celebrating individuality with Burberry SS22 Collection

Words Uyi Ilenbs

Burberry hosted a preview of their SS22 collection by Riccardo Tisci. The preview is set in the Pavillion Club Knightsbridge, one of London's exclusive locations. We were greeted and escorted into an intimate setting with a breathtaking view of Hyde Park. As champagne and afternoon treat graced our palettes, we eagerly anticipated the presentation of the collection.

The rotation of models began in pairs, with each pair showcasing a different piece from the collection over their SS22 attire. We began by looking at and hearing an in-depth description of Riccardo's methodology, from fabric layering to quilting, and how it all came together to produce such a liberated collection, with the help of a brand specialist. The delicate detailing of Tisci's creative genius can be seen in the gradual transitioning of his creative brilliance piece by piece. Through design, print, and technique, Tisci's exploration of imagination has given birth to a series of limitless possibilities, the power of self-expression, and a celebration of individuality.

My personal favourite would have to be the notable Burberry trench coat with a clean and precise silhouette. Tisci transformed this with the front coat panels featuring layering mesh in the animal-inspired print that moves through the animal instinct collection. The Distinctive ‘B’ logo is featured across the collection but Riccardo Tisci's signature designs captivate the eyes and minds of us all..
