RUNWAY: Burberry FW19

For Riccardo Tisci's sophomore effort for London Fashion Week's biggest name, and probably the most recognizable English label in the world, Burberry, came in two iterations. First came the streetwear inspired designs that Tisci was known for at his previous position. Yet, there was a softness to the edgier stuff - no rottweiler print here. Instead, the Italian-born designer looked to the English underground movement for inspiration - not a new inspiration, of course - but his is from a more genuine place as he studied in London during the grunge and punk phases of yester-decade. There were puffers, high-end takes on DIY punk designs - nothing too new in relation to the inspiration. Though it was the latter half of the collection that truly excelled. There were incredibly well tailored and refined clothes, mixed up with puffer vests, subtle subversive details, and a couple of incredible coats - even if it was all a bit too beige but this is Burberry and Burberry is beige.
