Burberry welcomes the summer in style

Looking at the grey skies out the window, it doesn’t feel like summer is just around the corner. Burberry is feeling a little more optimistic than us lot, though. The British house has just launched its official campaign for the season. Shot by Burberry fave Tyrone Lebon, the sun-kissed cast took to the blue seas and boarded a boat for the campaign shots. It’s all accompanied by a short film of hot people doing hot things in Burberry’s new checked-out swimwear pieces, with an original score by Vegyn and a spoken word intro from Covco. Go on then, pass the suncream.

Titled The 501® Experience, highlights include panel talks from British radio legend and DJ David Rodigan and live art performances from emerging street artist Navinder Nangla. There’ll also be the world’s first vibro-acoustic therapy tub Bass Bath – we’re not so sure what that means either, but it sounds fun, no?

For the iconic jeans’ actual birthday on 20^th May, Levi’s will be joining forces with international hip-hop festival Rolling Loud for a series of events and club shows in San Francisco, Paris, Tokyo and London. In the UK, it will all be going down at KOKO in Camden, with performances from K‑Trap, Unknown T and headliner Little Simz. Now that​’s how you throw a birthday party.

The 501® Experience will be free for visitors from Thursday 18th to Sunday 21st May at 11 Dray Walk and Dray Walk Gallery, 91 Brick Lane, Shoreditch, E1 6QL.

As part of the second instalment of Aries and Umbro’s collaboration, the duo delved into the scrum and got inspired by the blood, sweat and tears of rugby. Featuring Aries’ much-loved dying techniques, the capsule collection includes two classic rugby shirts, cotton drill track pants and shorts, as well as neon and deep navy rugby socks. A beyond stellar campaign ties it all together, shot by legendary photographer and THE FACE contributor Elaine Constantine.

While we’re on the topic of summer, Eytys has launched its Breeze collection, a light and fresh mix of unisex silky poplin shirts, laser-slashed tops that cheekily play with transparency and a new take on the Stockholm brand’s signature Benz jeans. This season, they come in indigo denim and feature a laser torn surface that mimics soft bouclé in a psychedelic bleached tie-dye pattern.
