Bonded by a shared commitment to material innovation, British brands Burberry and Hunza G are collaborating on a new swimwear capsule, launching in summer 2026. The collection is based on Hunza G’s signature silhouettes. It is crafted from the ultra-stretchy Original Crinkle™ fabric and comes in iconic Burberry colors with Burberry check trims.
“There is a natural connection between Burberry and Hunza G as British brands,” says Daniel Lee, Chief Creative Officer (CCO) of Burberry. “Our approach to materials and craftsmanship is driven by a relationship with the elements – pieces that can be worn in and out of the water.”
“Hunza G has always been about making women feel completely confident,” says Georgiana Huddart, founder and creative director of Hunza G. “Mixing this with Burberry’s heritage felt natural to create something special that felt effortless. That was always the goal.”
To celebrate the launch, Ryan McGinley photographed a series of portraits. It shows British actress Simone Ashley and model Alva Claire wearing pieces from the swimwear capsule in an idyllic beach setting.
The collaboration
British swimwear pioneer Hunza G is the creator of Original Crinkle™, a textured, ultra-stretch fabric made with more than nine million stitches per garment. The innovative material underpins the brand’s one-size-fits-all approach. It has the unique ability to support and shape any body.
The collaboration showcases the swimwear brand’s signature fabric in four signature silhouettes: Faye, Tyler, Domino and Devyn. These minimalist, body-sculpting and instantly recognizable styles have been perfected over more than 40 years of design.
The Burberry check, a constant code of the house, adorns swimsuits, bikinis as well as a multifunctional swim skirt and a tube top. Pieces are colored in a heritage-inspired color palette of black, white, metallic cocoa and red. Each piece comes with a matching hair tie that can be worn on the beach or in summer city life.
To mark the partnership, a new seahorse motif reinterprets the Burberry knight for underwater adventures. It is complemented by the B shield and a banner with the Hunza G lettering. The seasonal logo also appears as a sewn-on label on cotton garment bags.
The Burberry x Hunza G swimwear capsule is available online and in select stores worldwide.
