“UNIVERSAL PASSPORT” BURBERRY 2022 Spring/Summer Men’s Collection Showcase

London, June 23, 2021

“This series of exhibitions is to show the power and charm of self-expression, and to praise creativity, we break free from imprisonment and gather together.

Music has always inspired me. It can make thoughts go unconstrained—cross borders and connect you with time, space, and others. Music plays an important role in my life, just like the soundtrack and energy of running, it is full of my youth. Many of my memories are related to music. They bring me back to an incredible moment when I was discovering myself-my voice, my identity, my creativity-sharing my experiences with friends or even strangers . It’s like embarking on a common journey, walking side by side with others based on a collective sense of openness, acceptance, and opportunity.

I hope this series can capture the free spirit of youth and the sincere and brave attitude, the feeling of eagerness and spirit. There is a strong sense of unity, as well as outstanding personalities-mutual motivation and progress, and free expression of oneself. This is a very primitive energy, infectious, inspiring, full of vitality, like an awakening. ”

—— Riccardo Tisci, Chief Creative Director of Burberry

To create the 2022 spring and summer menswear collection, Burberry Chief Creative Director Riccardo Tisci condensed the emotion of freedom and unity into a force that inspires and connects each other. It is this force that makes us feel more energetic. This fashion show focuses on the strength of the spirit and the energy released by music and dynamism, creating wonderful moments that gather the positive energy of youth. The series of exhibitions were shot outdoors, and a large area of ​​sand forms a visual collision with the minimalist and rugged urban architecture of Millennium Mills at Royal Victoria Dock in East London. The model is confidently shuttled across the venue, with personality, boldness and distinctiveness. The new series firmly and sincerely interprets what is free expression, trying to challenge traditional norms, presenting a fluid texture, creating rebellious imitation perforated accessories, and black leather neck-wrap vests, jackets and shorts, full of youthful creativity. Full of sexy temperament. Tailor-made products and outerwear products are also designed with sleeveless flowing silhouettes and decorated with abstract printed patterns. The theme of the new series “Universal Passport” is also displayed in sleeveless mesh T-shirts and cotton shirts, and further explores the message conveyed by the series: connection and exploration. The background soundtrack of the series is from the British electronic music duo Shpongle. The blurred music brings more revellers together, and the music lingers in the entire space, making it detached. The soundtrack allows people to transcend the daily routine, creating an open and unrestrained space atmosphere, where people connect with each other, praise unlimited creativity, and are permeated with youthful vitality. Burberry has always supported the spirit of community and free expression, so Riccardo Tisci planned an energetic fashion release in order to jointly explore a new and unknown space. 【Edit Notes】 About the creative team · Style: Ib Kamara · Makeup: Isamaya Ffrench, Burberry Global Beauty Director · Hairstyle: Jawara · Choreography: Josh Johnson and Marquet Lee · Director: Partel Oliva About music · In the Burberry 2022 spring and summer menswear collection, Riccardo Tisci paid tribute to the electronic music duo Shpongle, choosing its music “Strange Planet” as the background soundtrack. · Shpongle is a psychedelic electronic music group from the United Kingdom, founded in 1996. · The members of the group are Simon Posford (also known as Hallucinogen) and Raja Ram (one of the three members of The Infinity Project). · This duo is considered one of the pioneers of the psybient music genre, combining world music with a psychedelic atmosphere.
