Sejak 12 Maret 2018 lalu ketika Burberry mengumumkan secara resmi Riccardo Tisci sebagai Chief Creative Officer terbaru dari rumah mode fashion legendaris Burberry, merebak sambutan positif mengenai langkah spekulatif terhadap masa depan Burberry (baca label kebanggaan Inggris) . Segudang pertanyaan para kritikus fashion hingga para penggila label ini kini semua terjawab secara nyata melalui debut perdana Riccardo melalui koleksi yang dinanti-nantikan : Spring/Summer 2019.

Sebelumnya ada gebrakan kreatif dilakukannya sebagai pemanasan. Misalnya mereka ulang secara berani logo Burberry dengan bahasa desain dan grafis yang lebih memikat. Tidak tanggung-tanggung logo terbaru tersebut digarap bersama dengan legendaris British Art Director dan Graphic Designer Peter Saville.

Koleksi bertajuk ‘Kingdom’ dari Spring/Summer 2019 merayakan keragaman dan gelora Inggris : kemajemukan kreativitas dan tradisi gaya dari ‘punk dan rebellious’ hingga gaya resmi dan anggun menyatu semua. Riccardo menggambarkan situasi budaya Inggris yang terlihat masa kini : individualitas, ‘eccentricity’ dan unimitable attitude Inggris.

Debut perdana Ricardo dianggap sebagai pembuka babak baru dalam ranah fashion bagi rumah mode legendaris Burberry. Koleksi yang berhasil menggambarkan total aura pembaruan Burberry tanpa berkesan jauh dari spirit Burberry itu sendiri.

“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, the traditions and the codes of this historic fashion house and of the eclecticism that makes up the beautifully diverse United Kingdom.” Riccardo Tisci, Burberry Chief Creative Officer

Koleksi busana pria dan wanita terdiri dari tiga bagian yaitu Refined, Relaxed and Evening dengan karakteristik yang masing-masing berbeda. Tidak ketinggalan bagi penggemar aksesori yaitu koleksi aksesori terbaru Burberry hasil dari si genius Riccardo.
