Giovanna Checked Stretch-Cotton Midi Dress

Riccardo Tisci may have instigated plenty of change in his time at Burberry, but the Creative Director always comes back to the iconic checks, a house signature dating back to the 1920s. For SS22, he works them into utilitarian styles like the Giovanna dress, a functional midi cut from stretch-imbued cotton to a streamlined shirt dress silhouette. The classic tricolour pattern and belted waist hark back to the label's famous trench coats.

• 95% cotton, 5% elastane

The Burberry name is inseparable from the gabardine trench coat it designed in 1901, now a fashion staple. Today, its artful approach to heritage style means outerwear for women and men is just part of a collection that spans red carpet dresses to the iconic Burberry check scarf and luxury bags.
