Bye Bye Burberry: Riccardo Tisci’s Most Influential Moments at the British Heritage Brand

British fashion house Burberry has announced the departure of its chief creative officer, Italian fashion designer Riccardo Tisci, just after the Burberry SS23 runway show at London Fashion Week. Beginning from Oct. 3, former Bottega Veneta creative director and Bradford native Daniel Lee will assume the role.

Having begun his turn at bat in 2018, Tisci’s reign at Burberry ushered in a new era of Gen Z appeal, greater influence of technical sportswear and streetwear elements, introduced a series of programmes in the realm of socio-ecological afflictions, and an expansion on the boundaries surrounding the “British” cultural aesthetic to better suit the fabric of today’s zeitgeist. As a foreigner who had to also represent the brand during the time of Brexit, Tisci went against the grain to source his influences from beyond existing history and the Burberry archives, fusing together the old Britain with the new.

Glancing back at Burberry circa Tisci, here are several of the most memorable transformations he implemented that has left a heavy-duty gabardine impact on the brand.

TB and B – Logo and Pattern Change

In a snowballing of the late 2010s urge to simplify everything to its bare bones components, one of Tisci’s early and most ostentatious moves was changing the Burberry logo to its current sans serif Bodoni-font icon of the label’s name in all caps. The radical reset came as a collaboration with renowned graphic designer Peter Saville, who was known for his simplistic yet instantly recognisable work on Joy Division album covers.

Saville also worked on constructing a monogram referencing Thomas Burberry, showcasing the brand’s founder as a beige “B” impaled by a gridlock of tessellated lines that merge to form the “T” and a weblike background. It was a removal from the classic nova check pattern lining Burberry’s garments and accessories through the years, yet still referenced the pattern in its design roots.

Hero – Burberry’s First Men’s Eau de Parfum

Named “Hero,” Burberry released its inaugural men’s fragrance under the helm of Tisci. Perhaps a move of wish fulfilment in assigning face of the campaign to Oscar-nominated Adam Driver, the Johnathan Glazer-directed fragrance campaign film featured the muscular “Star Wars” star riding shirtless on horseback before becoming a new age centaur, faintly evoking Burberry’s previous logo versions that all depicted an armoured knight jousting on a wildly galloping steed. Needless to say, the campaign was well received.

Taking Fashion to the Streets

Famously recognised for his love for sportswear elements that he seamlessly blended into luxury apparel during his time at Givenchy, Tisci was able to add structures and tailoring from traditional high-fashion into practical tracksuits and pullovers, and vice versa by injecting street-style into collections of cocktail dresses and sweeping reconstructed trench coats. Eventually setting the path that drove the luxury fashion industry’s sharp turn into closely intertwining with street culture which carved out a newfound fluidity allowing designers like Virgil Abloh and Demna Gvaslia to shoot into the upper rung of the spotlight.

Aside from banning the use of genuine fur in Burberry products and putting a stop to the destruction of unsold items, Tisci also proactively introduced the ReBurberry Fabric campaign to breathe a second life into the production’s deadstocks. As part of the scheme, leftover fabrics from the Burberry manufacturing pipeline were donated to fashion schools all over the U.K., allowing future designers to get their hands on gabardine scraps of their own. The brand also announced their obligations to cut down on carbon output.

In the realm of social impact, Tisci had joined hands with Premier League player Marcus Rashford to set up a school meal network that was able to feed over 200,000 children across 15 youth centres in London, thanks to support from Burberry.

polette’s FUCK Edition Launches in Hong Kong with a Party That Said It All

12Photo by polette

If eyewear could talk, polette’s new FUCK Edition would even be shouting the F word proudly and unapologetically. On Sept. 6, 2025, the brand dropped its boldest collection yet at its Central flagship store, and the launch party literally took the city by storm as the typhoon rolled in the next evening. Was it by coincidence or perfectly planned out?

FUCK Edition's I DON'T GIVE A (left) and WHAT THE (right)

Featuring two standout models crafted from acetate, I DON’T GIVE A (HK$1,400) and WHAT THE (HK$1,400), the collection is designed with exaggerated temple volumes and a silhouette that dares you to look away. Both models are available in two colors, and beneath the bold aesthetics lies functionality. Every prescription lens comes equipped with UV400 protection, anti-reflective coating, and anti-scratch technology. The exclusively designed Fuckin’ Chain and a black case are available to go with the special edition.

Having made a statement with its name, one wouldn't expect subtlety on the guest list of FUCK Edition's launch party. And the deeper message the brand wishes to convey makes it more than just another new collection. Because it’s a middle finger to conformity, a wink to self-expression, and a love letter to anyone who dresses authentically for themselves.

The Saturday evening party matched the collection’s edgy energy, while the overall decor of the store leaned into clean lines, bold contrasts, and just enough edge to make every moment feel intentional, offering an intimate atmosphere for a special night of social gathering.

Led by the sound of the hip-hop set spun by DJ Nip Lung upstairs, guests, a mix of fashion insiders and creatives, flowed into the store, welcomed by drinks and bites from Boon, Pigsmanhk, Young Master Brewery, and more. The night also saw surprise appearances from influencer Adekunbi Salako (非洲王子), rapper-producer Chefwest, rapper-dancer JB (Jiggle Boy), and more, making it extra unique.

One of the most magnetic spots of the night was the photo booth — a metallic, mirrored corner that turned into a runway of rebellion. With reflective walls and a curated eyewear display, it became the go-to spot for selfies, spontaneous shoots, and bold declarations of style.

Ready to speak your style? The FUCK Edition is available now at polette’s Hong Kong store. Check out the collection via their website, and follow the brand’s Instagram and Facebook for more information and launch party highlights.

Levis Blue TabPhoto by Levi’s® Hong Kong.

If jeans are essential in your wardrobe and you're a fan of Japanese denim, you’re going to love this.

With a preview over the last weekend on August 15, 2025, Levi’s® is gearing up for the launch of its new Blue Tab™ collection in Hong Kong, set to drop on Aug. 21, with a second wave arriving in October. Designed for denim lovers who appreciate craftsmanship and culture, the collection blends premium Japanese fabric with reimagined silhouettes and a rich palette of washes, making it a bold evolution for the brand.

Crafted with top-tier denim from Japan’s Kaihara Mill, the Blue Tab™ line showcases the brand’s commitment to quality and detail. The silhouettes move beyond classic cuts, offering jackets, trousers, and layering pieces. A spectrum of washes,from raw indigo to sun-faded tones, adds depth and personality to each garment.

In an exclusive showcase we witnessed the collection unfold across four distinct, fashion-forward themes, each telling a story through texture, tone, and tailoring.

The Mariner draws inspiration from naval utility wear, featuring neppy selvedge denim and salt-washed finishes that evoke deep-sea hues. Outerwear is lightly quilted in satin, while bottoms are constructed with authentic detailing and transitional weight fabrics.

Santa Fe Shank channels the earthy elegance of the American Southwest. Using natural-toned Japanese denim with a desert sand rinse, the pieces offer convertible silhouettes and rugged hardware, making it perfect for adaptable styling across seasons.

Coming in October, The Moto brings a sleek, road-ready edge to the collection. Crafted from Japanese powder denim dyed black and washed for texture, the pieces emphasize flattering seam work and bold silhouettes designed for confident, fashion-forward wearers.

Finally, The Art of Embroidery showcases Levi’s® craftsmanship at its most intricate. Featuring embroidery that functions as both decoration and structural design, this theme transforms classic denim into textured, statement-making garments as a fusion of traditional technique and modern aesthetics.

Adding another layer of artistry to the preview experience was Bam-Blue, an installation by local artist Jinno Neko from Meow Kee (貓記紮作). Constructed from bamboo and Levi’s® denim, the piece fused Japanese koinobori motifs with traditional papier-mâché techniques, symbolizing strength, movement, and the future of denim design.

Stay tuned for Aug. 21, 2025, for a chance to browse and shop Levi’s® Blue Tab™ in person and follow Levi’s® Hong Kong on Instagram or check out their website for more information.

The PANDORA ESSENCE Collection captures love’s dual nature – strong yet gentle—echoing the graceful flow of sand and waves. Two signature textures take center stage: twisted (recalling windswept shores,) and rippled (evoking the ebb and flow of water).

Sculptural rings, earrings, and bracelets are available in luminous 14K gold plating or 925 sterling silver, adorned with freshwater cultured pearls and glittering cubic zirconia. These are great for stacking or layering, if you want a chunky effect. But what really shines are the quiet details, such as asymmetrical heart shapes, dual-toned arcs, soft curves that speak to love in all its rawest forms.
