BURBERRY’S RICCARDO TISCI INVITES ARTIST ANNE IMHOF TO COLLABORATE ON THE UPCOMING SPRING/SUMMER 2021 SHOW EXPERIENCE
Set in the British outdoors, the Burberry Spring/Summer 2021 collection, designed by Riccardo Tisci, will come to life as a live physical presentation that is open for all to experience digitally at 1pm BST on 17
September 2020.
For the first time at Burberry, Riccardo has invited an artist to collaborate with him on the show creative. To bring his vision to life, he partnered with the internationally acclaimed artist Anne Imhof, with the duo radically bringing together fashion and art, examining tensions at the intersections of togetherness and
tradition; the natural and the man-made; the real and the unreal.
