Universal Passport
The Spring/Summer 2022 Menswear Presentation
Introducing ‘Universal Passport’, the new collection by Riccardo Tisci. An exploration of the forces that connect and inspire us – unveiled in the outdoors, set against the Millennium Mills in Royal Victoria Docks, East London.
‘This presentation is all about the power and the beauty of self-expression and about escaping and coming together as one to celebrate our creativity.’
RICCARDO TISCI, CHIEF CREATIVE OFFICER
The collection challenges conventional codes with assured fluidity, brimming with youthful experimentation and sensuality – as seen through black leather halterneck vests, coats, trousers and briefs.
An experimental sense of freedom continues as tailoring and outerwear are readdressed with sleeveless non-conforming silhouettes and abstract prints. Cotton vests and hoodies are refashioned with shaped leather panels and cut-out details for a rebellious take on staples.
Throughout the collection, pieces are defined with proliferated strap details, while symmetrical rows of cargo straps are fixed to the front of coats. Figures once inspired by the body and the Burberry animal kingdom are expanded and abstracted, becoming organic, curved prints – evoking the flowing forms of camouflage.
Further encapsulating the energy of youthful rebellion, beauty looks by our Global Beauty Director Isamaya Ffrench mirror the faux pierced accessories in the collection. A reflection of the individuality and self-expression that inspired it.
