Viva Highlights: London Fashion Week Spring 2019

BURBERRY

"It was interesting seeing what Riccardo Tisci did for his first collection as creative director of Burberry. For the last 12 years at Givenchy, the designer was known for his trend-defining pieces; gothic-inspired couture, a penchant for religious iconography and an ability to combine streetwear and high fashion. He also positioned Givenchy as a red carpet favourite amoung celebrities like Beyonce, Kim Kardashian and Madonna. For his first show with Burberry, Riccardo simultaneously stayed true to the fashion house's heritage roots while injecting his signature sex appeal into the mammoth 134-look collection. Elegant refinement, punks, working girls and boys, street wear and evening wear all made appearances in a show that spanned an exploration of England's 'tribes'. While I was initially skeptical about whether Riccardo would be a good fit for the British brand, I'm now convinced he will steer Burberry in a new, bold direction." — Rosie.
