THE NEW FACE OF BURBERRY


I couldn't believe it when I heard Burberry dropped Agyness Deyn from their new advertising campaign; but then again, it is true that going down the runway in a Henry Holland t-shirt and an eye-patch isn't exactly Burberry style... even if the eye-patch is in check.

It is true also that the new Burberry ad campaign is going back to pure British style: back to black and white after their Spring/Summer 08 dazzling colors and funky staging, the new campaign was shot in a park at a misty hour, with leaves all over the ground, recalling the staging of the Fall 08 Prorsum runway.

It comes to evidence that Mario Testino should choose a British rose to be the face of this new season, and who better than Rosie Huntington-Whiteley could play that part? After modelling Victoria's Secret lingerie, the full-lipped British supermodel is moving to a brand that is classier but not a bit less sexy, walking in the steps of Kate Moss and Lily Donaldson towards an ever more dazzling career.
