"Enclosed indoors, I dreamt of the outdoors and
its beauty, fuelled by the thought of the creativity that comes
when we are together," Tisci said on Monday.
"With this dream in mind, I became fascinated by the widespread
British craft and outdoor movements of the early 20th century,
when people escaped to explore the unknown countryside."
Outerwear was a focus in the Autumn/Winter 2021 collection,
filmed at Burberry's flagship Regent Street store in central
London before being released on social media channels on Monday.
Burberry's traditional trenches were re-imagined with pleats,
panels and fringes, while the colour palette centred on tonal
shades of beige, bark brown, oxblood burgundy and city greys.
Tisci joined the 165-year-old brand in 2018 to give creative
direction to chief executive Marco Gobbetti's re-positioning of
the house further upmarket.
His designs have attracted new younger customers, particularly
in the important Chinese market.
Like other labels, Burberry has been hit hard by global
restrictions on shop opening and travel and tourism.
It reported a 9% decline in sales in its third quarter, a bigger
drop than the 6% in the second quarter.
The company said last month trading would be remain susceptible
to regional disruptions but it was confident of rebounding when
the pandemic eased given the brand's resonance with customers.
