Riccardo Tisci to step down as Chief Creative Officer
28 September 2022
Burberry today announces that Riccardo Tisci will be stepping
down as Chief Creative Officer and leaving the Company at the end
of this month.
Riccardo has decided to leave after almost five years, during
which he spearheaded Burberry's creative transformation. Under his
creative leadership, the Company re-energised its brand image,
introducing a new visual identity and reviving the Thomas Burberry
Monogram. Burberry also modernised and elevated its product offer,
attracting a younger, more diverse and fashion-forward community of
customers, and aligned the customer experience to its luxury
positioning. Riccardo's Spring Summer 2023 collection, presented
this week in London, was his last for Burberry.
The Company will be making an announcement about Riccardo's
replacement imminently.
Jonathan Akeroyd, CEO, commented: "Riccardo has played a pivotal
role in repositioning Burberry. He has enhanced our creative
language, modernised and elevated our product offer and brought a
new generation of luxury customers to our brand. On behalf of
everyone at Burberry, I would like to thank him for his creative
leadership and wish him the very best for the future."
Riccardo Tisci said: "Burberry is a very special place with a
magical past and a very promising future. The chapter I was asked
to write in its long story is one that I am incredibly proud of and
one I have decided would culminate with my show on Monday. I
thrived to continue a legacy of innovation, and consistently
championed for creativity and diversity, in order to always keep
Burberry moving forward. I want to thank my teams, past and
present, and the army of collaborators and friends who helped me
write a chapter that I hope will stay in Burberry's future for
years to come."
Gerry Murphy, Chair, commented: "The Board and I are grateful to
Riccardo for his inspiration for Burberry's transformation. We will
build on this creative platform during the next phase of Burberry's
evolution under Jonathan's leadership."
