Fashion career profile
Riccardo Tisci
Riccardo Tisci is an Italian fashion designer from Taranto who graduated from Central Saint Martins in London. Givenchy appointed him Creative Director in 2005, beginning a twelve-year period in which he developed couture, ready-to-wear and accessories for the Paris house. In 2018 Burberry named him Chief Creative Officer, with responsibility for the brand’s collections; he departed at the end of September 2022 after presenting the Spring/Summer 2023 collection. His career therefore includes two separate house-wide leadership appointments, not a continuing role at either company. The profile records the different titles used by the houses and the end dates, while avoiding unsupported claims about a current employer or a single design category. Burberry’s appointment took effect on 12 March 2018; the role covered all collections and followed his Givenchy tenure.
