The brand announced today that Lee will join them on Monday 3 October 2003 as chief creative officer, succeeding Tisci, who presented his final collection earlier this week.

In a statement from Burberry, the brand announced Tisci’s decision to step down after nearly five years. “Burberry is a very special place, with a magical past and a promising future,” Tisci said. “The chapter I was asked to write in its long-running story is one I’m very proud of, and I’ve decided to culminate in Monday’s show. I thrive on continuing a tradition of innovation and have always championed creativity and diversity, In order to always keep Burberry moving forward. I would like to thank my team, past and present, and the army of collaborators and friends who have helped me write new chapters that I hope will live on in Burberry’s future.”
