Burberry has launched Burberry’s Future Archive, a unique collection of capsules packed with Burberry‘s signature items, all designed by creative director Riccardo Tisci. The collection is limited edition and each piece has been designed exclusively, drawing on the rich heritage of outerwear, reinterpreted from classics within the vast Burberry archive. Classic yet modern, timeless and perennial – a modern reflection of the storied history of the house. A small selection of pieces are available with an edition number, a piece with everlasting appeal, a part of Burberry’s new heritage. The collection is rooted in outerwear, from diamond-quilted coats to bomber and field jackets – hallmarks of the house. The capsule also includes tailored jackets and trousers, as well as accessories from bucket hats to backpacks, scarves to Cube bags – for men and women. The campaign, captured by London-based photographer Alessio Bolzoni, is set in a contemporary space which celebrates the dualistic contrast between modernity and timelessness and features models Jourdan Dunn and Adrian Chabada. The collection will be sold in selection Burberry stores worldwide, Burberry.com and exclusively through Mytheresa.com.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
