Cover Burberry offers a spirited summer escape, evoking the British spirit through sea, sun and breeze.

Burberry’s “Wish You Were Here” collection brings to life a vivid summer reverie, celebrating the quintessential British charm in the embrace of nature’s elements.

With its High Summer 2025 campaign, Wish You Were Here, Burberry invites us on a sensorial journey—one where fashion becomes an evocative narrative, unfolding in a cascade of colour-rich imagery and sunlit serenity. Step aboard a sleek yacht and let Burberry chart the course: ride sapphire waves that sparkle under a golden sky, bask in the warmth of late afternoon light, and breathe in the salt-tinged breeze. This is a spontaneous English holiday reimagined, where every detail—each cut, texture and silhouette—is finely attuned to the rhythm of summer. Here, tailoring meets poetry, and the coast becomes a canvas for memories that linger long after the season fades.

English summer symphony…

Drawing from the house’s rich heritage, Creative Director Daniel Lee paints a summer tale aboard the yacht Check Mate—a symbol of Burberry’s spirited, exploratory summer of 2025. Shot on 35mm film, the campaign captures a wistful, sun-drenched mood, conjuring images of a classic British summertime, reimagined with elegance and flair.

The cast includes an international ensemble led by supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and British tennis star and Burberry ambassador Jack Draper. As carefree voyagers, they savour the ease of seaside moments—framed by glistening waters, golden skies and a soft coastal breeze. Flecked with moments of play and wit, the spirit is clear: “Evoking the joy of summer in a very British way—where every moment is memorable,” says Daniel Lee.

…spontaneous, sophisticated and Burberry-esque

Burberry’s iconic check swimsuits and breezy shirt dresses signal elegance with an edge. Picture city girls sashaying across sunlit beaches, or refined gents on a leisurely promenade—each look exuding ease and confidence. A flowing silk dress, adorned with sailboat prints and nautical lace, introduces a softer note—feminine, evocative and destined for twilight soirées on deck or spirited gatherings beneath the open sky.

Accessories, too, echo the rhythm of summer: think easy espadrilles, handwoven totes, and finely crafted jacquard bags. Every element, from fabric to form, is thoughtfully executed—resulting in an ensemble that feels elevated and complete.
