Burberry showcases the power of community in AW22 campaign

FOCUSED on showing the importance of community, Burberry’s autumn-winter 2022 campaign shines a spotlight on the collection’s theme of belonging. Harnessing the beauty of individuality and the power of self-expression, the duality of identity and togetherness is explored through elevated studio shots and the outdoors in Los Angeles.

Reconnecting with long-term collaborators, photography duo Inez and Vinoodh, Chief Creative Officer Riccardo Tisci wanted to present a distinct perspective to Burberry through capturing a playful twist on tradition and heritage whilst ensuring the innovation within futurism was evident.

With the British brand having a long standing heritage, Tisci continually reinterprets iconic motifs at the core of the House and for this campaign, the designer chose the Equestrian Knight Design.

Featuring members of world-renowned The Compton Cowboys, a black-owned non-profit organisation situated in California, the original idea of community is seen through the introduction of a partnership between Burberry and the charity. Burberry will offer financial support to their mission which aims to demolish the stereotypes of local African-American communities through equestrianism and by connecting them to nature – alluding to their motto ‘streets raised us, horses saved us’.
