Burberry unveils new Highgrove Capsule in collaboration with Helen Bullock

British luxury fashion house Burberry has unveiled its fourth Highgrove capsule collection in collaboration with British artist Helen Bullock.

The collection honors British heritage and celebrates Burberry's relationship with Highgrove Gardens, which surround the private residence of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla. It promotes the work of The King's Foundation, a charity founded by His Majesty which acts as custodian of Highgrove Gardens, and reflects King Charles III's long-standing interest in environmental conservation.

Bullock created four artworks inspired by the trees, elegant arbors, cascading flowers, honeybees and fountains of the Kitchen Garden at Highgrove. These vibrant designs are featured on the capsule of womenswear, menswear and accessories. Each of the pieces are made from either certified wool, organic cotton or organic silk.

'The Gardens are so vast and rich it was hard to decide where to start. But I soon fell for the tangled sway of wildflowers and that special combination of dancing poppies and cosmos,' Bullock commented.

'The strong relationship between Burberry and Highgrove continues in this fourth collection celebrating excellence in British creativity, heritage and the wonderful outdoors,' Scott Simpson Retail Director for The King's Foundation added.


In support of the collection, a campaign shot by photographer Camille Summers-Valli and featuring globally renowned actors Elizabeth McGovern, Laura Carmichael and Sope Dirisu. McGovern and Carmichael are known for their roles in the acclaimed British series 'Downton Abbey', while Dirisu recently played the titular character in period drama film 'Mr. Malcom's List'. Set in a British country house and garden, the actors sport a selection of core pieces in a special portfolio of portraits and family moments.

Priced between 150 GBP and 2500 GBP, The Highgrove x Burberry collection is available now in Burberry stores, and online on Burberry.com. Check out the campaign images here.
