Both Burberry and the National Theatre share support for young people through learning and community programmes, improving access to the arts and training opportunities.

Burberry's Summer 2025 collection embraces adventure with cropped rainwear and deconstructed trench elements in lightweight silk poplin and linen. The use of weathered materials reflects outdoor influences, featuring coated capes and parkas for protection. Fabrics are intentionally washed and sun-bleached for a vintage feel, while checks are incorporated across jackets, trousers, and bags made from linen cotton, silk viscose, and chainmail, Burberry said in a press release.

The collection features easy, relaxed trousers with adjustable ankle buttons and functional cargo pants. Brightly coloured full-length skirts are enhanced with silk organza faux feather trims, while dresses are elegantly hand-stitched with metallic paillettes in gold and lilac.

Men’s jackets showcase lightweight tri-layer fabric in checked car coats. Polo shirt collars are layered beneath fitted leather jackets, exuding a rakish and refined style that captures a lively British spirit.

Clogs are robust, while men’s penny loafers offer a softer construction. Feminine touches are seen in open-toe mules and the Twine heel. Bags, including the Country style with Burberry Check in grainy leather and the B Clip in tumbled leather and suede, draw inspiration from the outdoors. The collection features cheerful colours like palma, green, carrot, bellflower, and lilac, complemented by neutral tones of whittle, eccle, terracotta, and skylark.
