The iconic and renowned English luxury brand Burberry was founded by Thomas Burberry in 1856. The hallmarks of the brand are the tartan pattern that became its most recognisable and imitated symbol, and the famous trench coat, destined to become authentic icons of the history of the brand. Since March 2018 the new Creative Director is Riccardo Tisci, who promises to raise the global appeal of the brand while maintaining respect for the British heritage.
