Burberry has always promoted community, coexistence, and the spirit of free exploration, and has always insisted on creating new horizons with creativity.

For the Spring/Summer 2023 collection, Chief Creative Director Riccardo Tisci takes inspiration from the British seaside, abandoning individual elements such as cliffs, sand or shells, and focusing on the beach. As a community hub and multicultural melting pot, the beach will connect different worlds and explore the intersection of nature and culture.

Just as the beach can accommodate the multifaceted society, the new series also seeks to explore the concept of multidimensional coexistence through clothing, and revive the British style – new energy and historical deposition, interpersonal privacy and alienation, rough and fragile style , all at the level of consciousness It presents sensory contradiction and intertwining in the form of external expression.

The changing weather and British nature of the UK has created a traditional layered look, which is understated and understated. The long skirt silhouette was partly inspired by swimwear’s use of graceful lines. The denim fabric is exposed to the sun, and the Trench windbreaker is rebuilt to create more body space.

The new collection reinterprets British style with fresh perspectives, different situations and new realities: on a summer beach, a black gothic back accelerates and whispers; surreal evening dresses in timeless elegance; And the English rose through the thorns, full of perfume, having been led in a beautiful adventure.

Inspired by the seaside and reimagined in London, the brand’s birthplace, the new collection celebrates the idealism and realism inherent in classic British attitudes.

To accompany the Burberry Spring/Summer 2023 show, soprano Nadine Sierra and the London Contemporary Orchestra, performed a special composition by Paul Mealor.

new series

The new collection celebrates the body, the beach and the spirit of the Burberry brand. Menswear and womenswear fuse the sensual and the intellectual – outerwear and pieces inspired by women’s underwear, swimwear and pajamas are layered with deconstructed elements to create decorative and functional garments.

The trench coat is as unique as ever. Skirts and jackets feature washed gabardine with a slightly gathered back. Sleeve pieces for men and women are full of summer vibes. Leather pieces and biker jackets are designed to blend together to complement each other.

The design of the long skirt is integrated into the style of the swimsuit – the long skirt is integrated with the bodysuit, and the line is emphasized by the cut of the belly. The skirt is fastened to a bodysuit with a trailing tail. In menswear, swimwear designs are combined with trousers, folded over as a decorative detail on the waistband.

Menswear combines sportswear with tailored booties: Tailored pieces are mixed with comfortable, loose streetwear, while wide-leg pants, sweatshirts and T-shirts subvert traditional forms , reinventing themselves for a new sense of the body. Men’s clothing is layered in delicate lace and tulle, light and soft.

Layering is an essential design element this season. The model framed the look in an embroidered tulle bodysuit and fishnet skirt. The body under the silhouette, decorated with hollow or transparent details, presents rich layers. Alluring and sensual lace recurs in a variety of patterns, colors and sizes, highlighting the appeal of women’s pajama designs, both as accessories and as decorative details for outerwear, freshly integrated into exquisite tailoring.

Inspired by the sea, the new collection features bold inflatable details, a playful nod to childhood water toys and flotation aids. Duality and multiple perspectives are themes that Burberry has been and continues to explore, and this new collection combines naive childhood games with exquisite craftsmanship, reinterpreting elegant velvet evening dresses – dress with function The velvet fabric, proportionally filled with gas, inherently modern and at the same time endowed with an ideal ultra-feminine quality.
