Livestreamed on Twitch by celebrity hosts the collection celebrates a new outlook on the world, as it intertwines mythology with nature while paying homage to a key item which has played a prominent role within the house’s history: the trench coat

“It began with a thought of British summertime; embracing the elements with a trench coat on the beach mixing with the sand and the water. I envisioned the people of this space, like the lighthouse keeper, and a love affair between a mermaid and a shark, set against the ocean, then brought to land, ” says Burberry chief creative officer Riccardo Tisci.

Hosted by Erykah Badu, Rosalía, Steve Lacy and Bella Hadid, the collection incorporates elements of mythology, symbolism and nature as it tells the tale of regrowth, renewal and, ultimately, the circle of life.

“The collection is called In Bloom because I was thinking about regeneration, about dynamic youth, about nature constantly recreating itself, always growing and evolving, always alive. Water is a symbol of that also – of newness, freshness and cleansing. And through water, life grows – water is what allows nature to bloom. Everything is circular,” says Riccardo.
