Burberry has unveiled an immersive Spring/Summer 2022 collection at its flagship store on Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills.

The ‘Animal Instinct’ womenswear collection introduces Riccardo Tisci’s latest iterations of the iconic Burberry trench coat, deconstructed and rebuilt in striking silhouettes that experiment and play with volume. Styles in a blend of classic Burberry gabardine and textural linen cotton are cropped at the back, while signature outerwear in soft fawn and dark biscuit shades are transformed through daring details. Geometric and experimental abstract prints feature on dresses and shirts, while the freedom of movement is explored through flowing gowns and mini dresses adorned with sweeping fringing, frills and straps. Sexy figurehugging silhouettes in stretch technical fabrics are juxtaposed with unstructured tailoring exuding a confident mood.

The menswear collection continues Riccardo Tisci’s experimentation with classics and exploration of individuality, sensuality and fluidity. Outerwear staples appear in non-confirming silhouettes, including trench coats re-cut with raglan or cap sleeves and sleeveless silhouettes. The collection title ‘Universal Passport’ is adorned on mesh T-shirts and shirts, affirming a message of connectivity and exploration. An ode to the escapism of the outdoors weaves through the collection, including on abstract printed T-shirts and cotton shirts echoing the layered colours of camouflage.

Within accessories, new bag silhouettes are introduced: the Rhombi, a new ellipse-shaped shoulder bag inspired by the abstract curved prints in the collection; an evolution of the house’s signature Olympia bag featuring a crescent curve and new soft shape with a circular strap; a new men’s quilted check leather bag in backpack and crossbody iterations embellished with the Thomas Burberry Monogram.
