Scheduled to debut December 2018, Tisci and Westwood's collection will be made up of "re-imagined iconic styles, in celebration of British style and heritage." The Burberry x Vivienne Westwood collaboration will support the rainforest charity Cool Earth and mark Tisci's first-ever Burberry collaboration.
"Vivienne Westwood was one of the first designers who made me dream to become a designer myself and when I first started at Burberry, I knew it would be the perfect opportunity to approach her to do something," Tisci said in a statement. "She is a rebel, a punk and unrivalled in her unique representation of British style, which has inspired so many of us. I am so incredibly proud of what we will be creating together.”
