BURBERRY “KINGDOM” SS 19 SHOW – LONDON

For His SS 19 Show, Riccardo Tisci presented his debut collection for Burberry with a show that paid homage to the individuality, eccentricity and inimitable attitude of Britain.

In front of an audience of creative industry, friends and family, the Spring/Summer 2019 collection for men and women, called “Kingdom”, was unveiled at a new show venue in Vauxhall, South West London.

The collection celebrates the diversity and the heart of England – the melting pot of creativity and style traditions from the punk and rebellious, to the formal and refined, all co-existing together. Capturing the breadth of what British culture represents today, the collection defines the visual language and lexicon for Burberry.

As the first model took to the runway the previously dark space was flooded with light, symbolising a new chapter for the fashion house.

British materials and textures including concrete, mahogany wood and critter glass transformed the interior with moving walls in tonal brand colours forming small intimate view points for the audience.

Models including Kendall Jenner, Irina Shayk, Stella Tennant, Jourdan Dunn, Lily Donaldson, Freja Beha Erichsen, Natalia Vodianova, Anok Yai and Cat McNeil walked the runway looking chic and elegant in Riccardo Tisci’s spectacular designs.

“I was thinking a lot about journeys as I started putting together my first Burberry collection. From my personal journey back to London 20 years after I showed my graduate collection here, to how far I have come. I was also inspired by how much London – the city that made me dream to become a designer – has evolved. This show is a celebration of the cultures and the traditions of this historic fashion house and of the eclecticism that makes up the beautifully diverse United Kingdom.”
