Introducing the Autumn/Winter 2019 Pre-Collection

Bold, contemporary cues signal a new Burberry vision. The Thomas Burberry Monogram, signature animal prints, scarf play and the Icon stripe run throughout the collection, as well as incarnations of Burberry beige – from honey to new vintage oak.

In a celebration of new silhouettes for women, jersey is elevated to goddess status in dresses that fall with effortless fluidity and contrast with twinset suits.

First introduced on the Spring/Summer 2019 runway, foulard silks detailed with new and archive prints are spliced into jackets and cardigans, while classic shirts are reimagined with intricate patterns.

Equestrian details are a nod to the Burberry archive, across ready-to-wear and accessories. For the classic lady, the TB Bag is showcased in new, exciting iterations – in luxurious suede and embossed leather – while the Title bag is introduced, a design of elegant simplicity.

Tailoring with exquisite attention to detail is celebrated in the new English-fit suit, a menswear cut established by Riccardo Tisci and inspired by Savile Row. From pinstripe and deconstructed check to Monogram jacquard – tailoring speaks to both day and night.

Ties colour-match shirts, giving the classically British gent a new twist on the twinset.

Youthful style contradictions clash throughout the collection. Party dresses are teamed with oversized ponchos and biker boots; t-shirts are layered with corseted sweatshirts.

The iconic trench coat prevails; classic outerwear is updated in studded satin and voluminous silhouettes and worn with the new Lola – with a double chain strap, the soft, unstructured little sister of the TB Bag.

Easy-to-wear menswear pieces effortlessly create a modern, informal uniform. Striking separates in matching tones are worn from head to toe.

A utilitarian parka with workwear details is taken apart and reassembled, while sweatshirts and shorts become the new off-duty suit.
