Which Italian designer served as Burberry's chief creative officer from 2018 to 2022?

Riccardo Tisci served as Burberry’s chief creative officer from 2018 to 2022. The Italian designer joined the British house after a highly influential twelve-year period leading Givenchy’s creative direction.

Burberry appointed Tisci in March 2018 to succeed Christopher Bailey. He brought a darker, more gothic sensibility to the brand while working with its established codes, including outerwear, tailoring, and the Burberry check. His first Burberry collection was presented during London Fashion Week in September 2018, establishing a modern direction for the company.

Tisci’s tenure ended in September 2022, when Burberry announced that English designer Daniel Lee would replace him. That transition can create confusion in quiz questions because Daniel Lee became the next chief creative officer, while Tisci remained the relevant answer for the 2018–2022 period. Tisci’s earlier career is also a useful clue: before Burberry, he was best known for his work at Givenchy, where he oversaw womenswear, haute couture, menswear, and accessories.
