Burberry’s Chief Creative Officer Riccardo Tisci honors the brand’s heritage of exploration, physically rooted in Burberry’s signature smooth, durable gabardine cloth designed to conquer new heights on the open road of a mountainous landscape. This is the formidable road ahead for humankind.

Riccardo Tisci became Chief Creative Officer of Burberry in spring 2018, tasked with creating a modern sensibility around the distinctive British heritage brand. One of the designer’s favorite themes is duality or ‘mirroring’ as it’s also called.

 “I have always been drawn to the notion of duality and viewing things from two perspectives – bringing a depth and contrast to a person or a concept. This campaign explores this idea of mirroring, a theme which I established as a house code in the new Burberry identity,” Tisci explains.

In the time of gender fluidity and ambiguity — and rejection — of any actual definition of gender, Tisci enlists photographer Danko Steiner to photograph his pre-Fall 2020 collection. Unlike Alessandro Michele at Gucci or Michael Kors, Riccardo Tisci is not simplifying the number of collections presented each year — at least for now.
