BURBERRY AUTUMN/WINTER 2020 COLLECTION

MEMORIES

‘Moving back to London recently – a city I first discovered as a young student – gave me a real sense
of nostalgia. It was the place where I learnt to be myself and a city where I gained the confidence to be
the man that I am today. I have this strong feeling of pride when I think about the early days of my
career, when I was an emerging designer still learning my craft and taking inspiration wherever I could
find it.

The memory of this special and formative time in my life is what has influenced this collection – from
the places I visited and the people that surrounded me to the music that inspired me. It is this side of
my personal journey that I wanted to blend with the codes and language that I have started to define
here at Burberry.’
Riccardo Tisci, Burberry Chief Creative Officer

THE COLLECTION

Named Memories, Riccardo Tisci’s Autumn/Winter 2020 collection for Burberry takes inspiration
from reflections of his early years as a young designer, whilst continuing to solidify key codes for the
fashion house.
The collection captures Riccardo’s memories of the diverse places he visited, discovering who he was
as a designer whilst developing his craft. From Italy where he was raised, to London where he studied,
to India where he moved after graduating. The collection combines signature Burberry pieces – from
trench coats, tailoring and duffle coats – with modern silhouettes, prints and fabrications.

WOMEN
The trench coat softened with off-the-shoulder silhouettes, exaggerated ties, curly shearling and
faux fur. A car coat, blouson and blazer spliced with voluminous capes. Long collarless coats in double
wool-cashmere and leather and equestrian-inspired quilted jackets.
Panelled tailoring, jodhpurs, fluted skirts and reconstructed shirt dresses in collaged check. Layered
cricket stripes and prints, and cinched rugby-style dresses. Gathered details on dresses and
blouses. Evening silhouettes in fluid chain mail, plaid and jersey – contoured with crystal fringing and
ring-pierced cut outs.

MEN
Outerwear is explored through textural contrasts and updated check prints. The car coat combined
with a field jacket. The duffle coat panelled in plaid wool and felted cashmere. Classic trench coats
with attached hoodies, puffer jackets and double-lapel details.
English-fit jackets with reconstructed cuffs and lapels, styled with slim tailored trousers, silk-twill
shirts and sweaters – all patchworked in plaid. Low-slung tapered trousers in tailored wool and plonge
lambskin, reworked rugby shirts, and silk-chiffon tunic silhouettes.

ACCESSORIES
Introducing the Olympia bag collection, featuring a shoulder bag in three sizes and a crossbody
bag. Fabrications include Monogram jacquard, star-appliquéd suede and smooth structured leather in
rich saturated tones.
A supersized Pocket Bag, Society holdall and duffle bag in plaid. A metal paillette clutch for evening.
The Arthur sneaker is updated with a Cuban heel, a new hybrid style for men and women. Sculptural
point-toe pumps, mules and boots with wraparound tie details. Men’s Derby shoes are reworked with
a square toe and Cuban heel in polished leather and check cotton.
Transparent disc earrings with logoed studs, and earrings and rings with sculptural silhouettes.
