For its chic pre-collection for the Fall/Winter 2019 season, [Burberry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-summer-2024) attempts to redefine contemporary streetwear aesthetics by way of refined and well-tailored militant fashion ensembles. The range is a follow-up of the label's largely successful Spring/Summer 2019 debut. With an emphasis on elegance and sophistication, the offerings prove to be an agreeable balance of [minimalism and detailed embellishments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea).

Chief Creative Office Riccardo Tisci looked inward for inspiration for the militant fashion collection. The silhouettes in the pre-Fall/Winter 2019 line-up embrace the luxe label's "archive prints, house colors, and [iconic outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/london-a-love-affair)." As a result, Burberry is able to adapt the elements consumers associate it with into a highly functional and aesthetically pleasing range of contemporary fashion ensembles.
