The concise new capsule reaches into the brand's past collections, turning leftover textiles and materials into all-new [repurposed garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remake-by-burberry). The new series makes use of excess materials including fleece, jersey, woven silk, and eco-printed denim. What's more, the series leans into its own DIY aesthetic, dressing many of its garments with playful doodle-like drawings, stick figures, and abstract text. Specific pieces in the series include jersey t-shirts, silk shirts, fleece sweatsuits, and patched jeans. “All these clothes are designed so that every single person can wear them, [regardless of gender or identity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sujitha-shivajothi). For me, that feels really modern, powerful, and joyful – and that’s what youth is all about," said the series' curator, Olu Odukoya.
