Burberry has partnered with Sir Quentin Blake on a capsule collection that embodies the artist\u2019s distinctly British sense of imagination.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

An award-winning artist who was knighted in 2013, Sir Quentin Blake has been a much-loved figure in British art and children\u2019s books for almost seventy years. His illustrations are recognised for their unmistakable sense of character and memorable storytelling.<\/p>\n

For this capsule, bold, hand-drawn motifs feature across a selection of womenswear, menswear and childrenswear. Designs include feather prints inspired by an original 1971 pen-and-ink illustration from an English-language version of \u2018The Birds\u2019 by Aristophanes, alongside a recent series of previously unreleased drawings depicting playful figures interacting with nature.<\/p>\n

“Sir Quentin Blake\u2019s illustrations capture a sense of childhood magic. They have a very British style, and we wanted to bring his amazing creations into the world of Burberry.” <\/em>Daniel Lee,\u00a0Chief Creative Officer, Burberry<\/p>\n

The Collection<\/strong><\/p>\n

Created in collaboration with Sir Quentin Blake, the collection serves as a canvas for the celebrated British artist\u2019s paintings and illustrations.<\/p>\n

Trench coats cut from shower-resistant tropical gabardine \u2013 the lightest of Burberry\u2019s signature fabrics \u2013 reinterpret Blake\u2019s feather artwork through material techniques and artisanal craft. The fit-and-flare Pembury is lined in printed silk, while the neat, narrow Foxfield features a tactile embroidered design. Inside each piece is Burberry\u2019s Knight label, finished with the artist\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n

Printed silk is explored across the collection, appearing as panels on a knitted T-shirt and in fluid separates, ruffled dresses and scarves. Soft cotton jersey T-shirts, tops and sweaters showcase the collection\u2019s artwork.<\/p>\n

In accessories, capsule motifs are embroidered on cotton twill baseball caps and Scottish-woven cashmere scarves, brushed for an ultra-soft finish.<\/p>\n

About Sir Quentin Blake<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sir Quentin Blake is known for his collaboration with many writers, most famously Roald Dahl. From 1999 to 2001, he was the inaugural British Children\u2019s Laureate. He was awarded a CBE in 2005, received a knighthood for services to illustration in 2013, and in 2022 was appointed a Companion of Honour by Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p>\n

The Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration will open on 5 June 2026 as the UK\u2019s first and only permanent space dedicated to illustration. Burberry is a long-standing supporter of the arts and has contributed to the new centre by providing funding for staff and volunteer training, as well as illustrator-led workshops, inclusive community programming and monthly LGBTQI+ family sessions, launching in July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
