Great enthusiasm for the brand — and founder Thomas Burberry’s Victorian pioneering face , Riccardo Tisci. He looked back to that era, whipping white lace into long, slim dresses or lavish, rippling collars; working corset details into tailored jackets; stretching a trench straight down so that it swept the floor, and creating hand-sketched, painted and collaged animal prints — including a monkey — in a wink to Charles Darwin.
“First we are going to build the identity, and then we’ll develop it. The next steps could be homeware. We’ve already launched perfume and soap, and we even made the music speakers. With time, we’ve matured. We’ve become much more fashion, and we can be lifestyle as well,” said Tisci, adding that he wants Burberry to be about more than a trench and a check.
