Burberry Just Dropped The Coolest Swimwear Capsule With Hunza G

If it’s a splash you’re looking to make this summer, this hot new collaboration has you covered. British labels Hunza G and Burberry have gifted us one of this year’s hottest drops: a swimwear line marrying the former’s material innovation and stylish silhouettes with the latter’s signature check. 

The collection drops today (27 April), alongside a series of sun-soaked portraits depicting British actor Simone Ashley and model Alva Claire wearing the new line on the beach.

Burberry & Hunza G Team Up On Dreamy Swimwear Line

When it comes to swimwear, no one is doing it like Hunza G. The creative force behind the Original Crinkle – a textured, ultra-stretch fabric crafted with more than nine million stitches per garment, making it possible to create a one-size-fit garment that uplifts every body – the brand has been a staple in the British holiday wardrobe since its founding in 1984.

Burberry, meanwhile, likely needs no introduction. While better known for its trench coats, umbrellas and wellies, the British heritage label is just as coveted in the height of summer as it is in the rainiest of winters.

So, naturally, when a collaboration was announced between the two, it’s safe to say the internet gasped with delight.

‘Hunza G has always been about making women feel their most confident,’ says Georgiana Huddart, Hunza G founder and Creative Director. ‘Bringing that together with the heritage of Burberry felt natural, to create something special that feels effortless. That’s always been the goal.’

The two British brands come together for a swim capsule built around four of Hunza G’s signature silhouettes – the Faye, Tyler, Domino and Devyn. They are given a fresh look with the addition of Burberry check trims, which linger on the edges of swimsuits, bikinis, swim skirts and tube tops (as well as matching scrunchies). Another Burberry touch comes from the colour palette; a heritage-inspired blend of black, white, metallic cocoa and red.

Speaking on the collaboration, Burberry Chief Creative Officer Daniel Lee highlights how: ‘There’s a natural connection between Burberry and Hunza G as British brands. Our approach to material and craft is shaped by a relationship to the elements – pieces you can wear in and out of the water.’

Another playful twist to come from the collaboration is a new take on the Burberry Knight. The classic horse and armour has been swapped out for a new mascot: a Burberry blue seahorse holding the B shield, with a Hunza G banner draped across its tail. Perfect for the new season’s underwater adventures, the Burberry x Hunza G seahorse takes on a starring role on appliquéd labels on cotton garment bags.
