Offering a playful twist on tradition in a reconstruction of heritage, the classic women’s trench is recreated as a voluminous strapless gown with signature details, whilst car coats are enlivened with chain-link elements, according to a press release. Across womenswear, waxed cotton coats and field jackets are presented alongside vintage-inspired floral lace corset tops in candy pink and red with matching pleated skirts, black leather bodysuits, and skirts. The Lola bag also features in the campaign, celebrating the heritage of the brand and its founder, Thomas Burberry.

British luxury fashion house Burberry has unveiled its Autumn/Winter 2022 Campaign, which celebrates different identities while focusing on the power of community. The collection was photographed in an outdoor setting by Inez and Vinoodh and styled by Lotta Volkova, and reflects the avant-garde approach of Riccardo Tisci, the brand’s chief creative officer.

For menswear, a hooded duffle coat in dark umber is reconstructed with exaggerated leather straps and trims, whilst tailored high-waisted trousers are layered over polo shirts and cotton poplin shirts are coupled with floor-grazing skirts in diamond-quilted fabrics, added the release.

In a modern reinterpretation of the Equestrian Knight Design – a symbol of community spirit revived from the Burberry archive and highlighted throughout the collections – the campaign features members of The Compton Cowboys, a Black-owned LA-based non-profit organisation. As part of their partnership, Burberry will provide a donation to support the organisation’s mission to uplift local African-American communities by combatting stereotypes and building lasting skills through equestrianism and a connection to the outdoors.
