\n\tBRITISH WHIMSY: Burberry<\/a> on Tuesday revealed an arty and playful capsule collection with illustrator Quentin Blake, best known for his collaboration with children\u2019s book author Roald Dahl.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe range spans women\u2019s, men\u2019s and childrenswear, featuring bold, hand-drawn motifs that bring Blake\u2019s characters and feathered forms onto the British heritage luxury house\u2019s staples.<\/p>\n

\n\tTrenchcoats are reworked with Burberry\u2019s lightest shower-resistant tropical gabardine featuring Blake\u2019s feather artwork through artisanal techniques. The fit-and-flare Pembury trench style is lined in printed silk, while the narrow Foxfield carries an embroidered design, all finished with Burberry\u2019s Equestrian Knight design and the artist\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n

\n\tPrinted silk runs through the capsule in panels on knitted T-shirts, separates, ruffled dresses and scarves. The accessories also include cotton twill baseball caps and Scottish-woven, ultra-soft cashmere scarves.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSir 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,\u201d said Daniel Lee, chief creative officer at Burberry.<\/p>\n

\n\tA fixture of British art and children\u2019s literature for nearly seven decades, Blake\u2019s work is known for its instantly recognizable loose line, kinetic figures and narrative flair. Among his many accolades, he was knighted in 2013 for services to illustration\u00a0and was appointed a Companion of Honour by the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe capsule launch underscores Burberry\u2019s continuous arts patronage as it coincides with the Friday opening of the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration, the U.K.\u2019s first permanent space devoted to illustration.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast December, the brand tapped New York-based artist Sarah Morris with her abstract geometric paintings and cinematic films,\u00a0to reimagine its store facade in the\u00a0Miami Design District<\/a>\u00a0to mark the opening of\u00a0Art Basel Miami Beach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2024, Burberry was the headline sponsor of the British Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale. It celebrated the occasion with two events.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tThe first was hosted by Russell Tovey and Robert Diament, founders of the \u201cTalk Art\u201d podcast, where John Akomfrah joined them, among others, on stage to discuss the commission and artistic practices. Later the same night, Lee hosted a soiree at Harry\u2019s Bar with Honey Dijon, Skye McAlpine, Sophie Hicks, Sydney Lima and Tim Marlow in attendance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BRITISH WHIMSY: Burberry on Tuesday revealed an arty and playful capsule collection with illustrator Quentin Blake, best known…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":471792,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[150618,146,85,46],"class_list":["post-471791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-burberry","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471791"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471791\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471792"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471791"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
