Burberry has unveiled its Fall/Winter 2022 Pre-Collection, designed by Chief Creative Officer Riccardo Tisci.

"I wanted to explore a different experience when presenting my collections, so I decided to entrust each upcoming pre-collection to a new creative person each season. These are extraordinary people who inspire me with their unique creativity in their personal lives as well. Creativity is freedom, empathy and communication with others. It is your voice, your identity, the part of you that you want to share with others. I was excited to engage in creative conversation with them and see how they would interpret and realise my identity.

I am now delighted to announce Lea T as my first partner for the Autumn/Winter 2022 Pre-Collection, the first instalment of this new creative series. Lea T is a beloved member of my family, with a deep understanding of animals and nature, as well as a strong femininity balanced with a relaxed, gentle and romantic softness."

Riccardo Tisci, Chief Creative Officer, Burberry


The collection celebrates style and identity, togetherness and freedom, nature and the outdoors.

Burberry's iconic house codes are given a modern twist, blending eclectic British style with a sense of exploration and the drive to go further. The collection revolves around adventure and discovery, blurring the boundaries between creativity and self-expression, on a physical and personal level.

The Autumn/Winter 2022 Pre-Collection marks the start of a new creative series featuring Burberry friends and family. For upcoming pre-collections, we will partner with Riccardo Tisci to feature inspiring individuals from diverse backgrounds. Each will interpret the brand identity that Riccardo Tisci has built at Burberry, styling the collection, and incorporating their own creative identities into their own expressions. This time, we have chosen Lea T, a long-time collaborator of Riccardo Tisci and a member of the Burberry family. She has appeared in Burberry campaigns and modeled in the Spring/Summer 2021 runway show.

The collections are deeply inspired by the outdoors. Signature outerwear is refreshed with new oversized silhouettes and reimagined details, inspired by a youthful and fresh take on traditional utility and exploration styles. This influence can be seen in silk twill short-sleeve shirts, wool skirts, and T-shirts, featuring new prints such as the British Isles, a mirrored globe, and a Monogram map. Continuing from last season, the freedom of the British craft movement is reflected in flowing pieces like dresses, jackets, overshirts, and jumpers in geometric prints.

"Creativity is closely linked to our personal interests, our environment and our passions. It all leads to broadening our horizons and the pursuit of creative self-expression. It is one of life's most important and challenging challenges, because it requires courage and strength to understand who we are.

I've worked with Ricardo for many years, but this new perspective has been a great experience, as it focuses on the people around the creators of the clothes. Through this initiative, Ricardo himself has thrown out his stereotypes and shared a new interpretation of the people around him, and he has really respected our vision.

Today, Burberry is a window into freedom and space to create something extraordinary. Looking back at the brand's history, there are interesting parallels to modern life, but also a desire for people to escape into the British wilderness. I have a deep respect for both British nature and my own version of nature. Even if my version of nature is outside the norms we live in today, I believe it's important to explore it in life, as long as I value it.

Trench coats are reimagined with bibs, patchwork in beige and neutrals, and dark truffle brown lambskin.
