Riccardo Tisci has entered the building. Every fawner, Instagrammer, bought and paid for fashion reviewer, influencer, label whore and fashion victim can finally rest easy and the remainder of us can yawn.

I can’t exactly say this was a bells and whistles premiere of his newly envisioned Burberry simply because it barely elicited little more than a barely audible ooh or moan and maybe a sigh. The most beautiful pieces were the simplest; the most ghastly pieces were when he went off the reservation. Being fair about the whole thing, I could say that this is a wait and see situation since there is nothing to base it on other than Christopher Bailey’s work which at times was amazing and at other times simply cringe worthy.

As a courtesy I will mention the men’s which was a so what, big deal, who cares and some of the women’s certainly rivaled Baileys most cringe worthy creations. Lots of excess, useless or unflattering details like a drape under the waistline and of course those sleeves that extend to ginger tips. The palette was simple and tasteful, the use of the plaid was scant and the big deal about changing the logo was a blink and you might have missed it.

So now, after all this anticipation, all the wonder and all the hypothesizing of what the new Burberry will look like is still very much a mystery. As it is now, there’s really not much to write home about and even less to make one sit up and take notice but most of it wearable.
