Burberry Introduces Summer 2027 With Celia Birtwell Prints with Daniel Lee

Video: Burberry. Birtwell’s drawings run through the collection, bringing faces, florals and a sense of hand-made irregularity to a language that Burberry says is typically more graphic. Her work, which helped define the look of the 1960s and 1970s, is used here to reshape the House Check into gingham and then into a stripe.

A Heritage Code Reworked Through Collaboration The collaboration gives Burberry’s most recognizable pattern a new design vocabulary without abandoning its connection to British textile history.

The move is less about repeating an archive motif than about changing its scale, rhythm and emotional tone through Birtwell’s distinctive line work. Lee described the result in practical terms: “You can really feel the human hand in it.

In the check, in the lines.” The comment points to the collection’s central proposition, the value of visible imperfection and drawing as a counterpoint to a highly standardized luxury code.
