2 iconic British fashion powerhouses have
joined forces to create an oh-so quirky and utterly British
limited-edition collection.
Originally announced back in July via a
portrait of Riccardo Tisci, Vivienne Westwood and Andreas Kronthaler on
Instagram. Now, the time has arrived to shop the surprisingly accessible
collaboration (select pieces start as low as UK£55/US$70)
As expected from the ‘Queen of Punk’ the
overall feel of the capsule collection is a cool, grunge-era,
unapologetic vibe. Pieces include reimagined kilts, berets, jackets and a
handwritten message by Westwood herself emblazoned on an oversized
t-shirt. This piece will help raise money for non-profit charity Cool Earth
who help put a stop to deforestation and climate change. A cause very
close to the designer’s hearts. Westwood will also customize 4 items
from the collection to be auctioned, proceeds of which will go to Cool
Earth.
The campaign (which also dropped today)
feature the likes of Kate Moss and Sistren and shot by David Sims, who’s
portfolio includes works for Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga and Calvin
Klein.
This sure to sell out collection will be
the brand’s first collaboration since Riccardo Tisci was appointed Chief
Creative Officer in March 2018.
All these pieces are available to purchase online now through the Burberry website.
What do you think of this punk-rock collection? Will you be copping a few pieces?
