In a runway presentation filmed at the British
brand's flagship London Regent Street store, models strutted in
an array of outerwear adorned in faux fur as well as block
coloured dresses with fluttering fringes and cape-like sleeves.
There were also tops and skirts with flag intarsias or boldly
coloured geometric prints, boxy jackets, fringed shorts and
tapered trousers, with cuffs at the ankles.
Tisci, who joined Burberry in 2018, put capes on the back of
jackets, dresses and coats - including the label's trademark
trench. One version came in shiny gold lame'.
The autumn/winter 2021 womenswear line called "Femininity" paid
tribute to "the indomitable force of Mother Nature and the
widespread British craft and outdoor movements of the early 20th
Century", according to show notes.
"Throughout my life, my mother has been this incredible force of
nature ... so, naturally, I have always been drawn to strong
women and, in turn, they have also given me the confidence to
express my own femininity," Tisci said.
"I wanted this collection to feel truly emblematic of the power
of feminine energy: a modern armour that captures its
characteristic fierce aura ... This presentation is a love
letter to women and a celebration of their incomparable
strength."
Tisci accessorised the looks, which came in mainly earthy tones
mixed with dabs of bright colours, with oversized bags, tight
stretchy sock boots and hats reminiscent of helmets.
Wednesday's presentation follows February's unveiling of Tisci's
first menswear-focused collection for Burberry during London
Fashion Week.
