Feed Your Logomania Obsession With Burberry’s New Monogram Collection

Burberry is known for its iconic check pattern, but there’s a new way to show your love for the brand. The fashion institution just released a monogram collection with pieces featuring the interlocking initials “TB” as an homage to founder Thomas Burberry.

“When I saw an image of his initials, the design felt so special and actually very modern, so I quickly developed it into a new code for the house. It’s a symbol that not only embraces Burberry’s heritage but also feels very contemporary,” said Creative Officer Riccardo Tisci regarding the development of the brand’s new calling card.

@GigiHadid unveils the new Monogram collection, launching 22 May . A modern approach to the classics . “When I first started at Burberry, I spent a lot of time in the archives researching the rich history of the house. I quickly became very interested in Thomas Burberry and who he was, not only as an inventor and innovator but also who he was as a man, a husband and a father. When I saw an image of his initials, the design felt so special and actually very modern, so I quickly developed it into a new code for the house. It’s a symbol that not only embraces Burberry’s heritage but also feels very contemporary.” Riccardo Tisci . Captured in a campaign created by #NickKnight, #PeterSaville and #KatyEngland .
