Jourdan with Sacha M'Baye for Burberry Prorsum

Burberry Prorsum has just released their new campaign featuring British Models Sacha M'Baye and Jourdan Dunn.  The ads were shot by Mario Testino on Brighton Beach. After having her baby Jourdan took a short hiatus from modelling but now she  has cemented her return to modelling  by shooting the Burberry campaign. 2011 is the year of Jourdan's return to the pinnacle of modelling!!!

When I watched the first Twilight movie 2 years I said that Robert Pattinson would make the perfect Burberry campaign star. Well it seems Christopher Bailey might have thought so too. Burberry has managed to attract stars such as Emma Watson and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

However it’s been reported R-Patz turned down a 1 million pound deal. Is he crazy???? Possibly

He definitely isn’t short of money because he has been hugely successful with the Twilight series. However turning down an offer from one of the fashion world’s biggest names might not be the best of ideas. I think most actors would jump at the opportunity to model for the iconic heritage brand. A source  stated that "As far as Robert sees things he's an actor by trade and that's his art. He doesn't want to start becoming a brand or anything."

Burberry is the one show at London Fashion Week that everyone was waiting for. Christopher Bailey didn’t disappoint. For his Spring 2011 collection, the designer brought back the military trend but reinterpreted it to include aviator jackets, and military inspired coats with leather finishes. The show had one mishap, Burberry campaign girl, Emma Porter literally fell flat on the floor as she was closing the show. However, she got up and finished her catwalk. Its not about falling its about getting back up.

Rosie Huntington Whiteley is back again, she has appeared in the Burberry campaign in 2008 and now they have brought her back to be the face of the Burberry Beauty cosmetics range. Christopher Bailey must be over the moon,  because even though this campaign was shot many months ago it has now been  announced that Rosie will be in the next Transformers movie so  Burberry Beauty will get even more attention. Rosie Huntington Whiteley is joined by fellow Brits Emma Porter and Lily Donaldson.

More Photos of the collection are after the jump.

Rosie Huntington Whiteley is really having an amazing year, first she has been named the UK’s first Victoria’s Secret, contract Angel, then it was announced that she would replace Megan Fox in Transformers 3 and now she is the new face of Burberry Beauty cosmetics. Rosie stars alongside Lily Donaldson and Nina Porter.  In the campaign all 3 models wear Burberry’s trench coats and are photographed by Mario Testino.

The 96 piece Burberry beauty cosmetics collection hits stores next month.

Transformers actress, Rosie Huntington Whiteley is part of an all British ensemble cast for the new AW2010 Burberry campaign. Rosie Huntington Whiteley is cast alongside actor Douglas Booth, musicians Gwilym Gold, Rory Cottam, Samuel Fry, Seb Brice, and models Nina Porter, Sam Rollinson, Charlotte Wiggins, Caspar Smyth, and Thomas Penfound.
The brand has gone back to using models after it used actress, Emma Watson for its last two campaigns. The campaign was shot by photographer, Mario Testino. In addition to photographs the campaign also feature interactive online videos where the user will be given choices that influence how they view the product.

Burberry has always been at the forefront of technology, being one of the first brands to stream heir show online and the first to make their show available in 3d. Now they are  the first brand to make their  new campaign interactive and it will  serve as an extension of their runway show.

Iconic British brand,  Burberry has revealed  that they will be branching out and releasing a  makeup collection. The line is called Burberry Beauty and the campaign will be photographed by Mario Testino  and fronted by Lily Donaldson, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and newcomer Nina Porter from select models.

Christopher Bailey  told WWD, “When we were doing make-up, I felt like we weren’t able to get the right attitude. It was either caked-on make-up or then just the wrong colours, the wrong tones, the wrong spirit for make-up. I wanted it to be this kind of effortless elegance.”

The collection contains 96-pieces and draws inspiration from Burberry the trench coat and  “Like the trench-coat, it can be worn anywhere and at any time,” Christopher Bailey said.

If there is one model that I think doesn’t get enough praise its Lily Donaldson. We always hear about Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Jourdan Dunn, Lily Cole and Agyness but Lily Donaldson is a bit underrated.  While the other models are famous outside of fashion circles Lily  is relatively unknown.  This month, she covers the  Korean Edition of  W Magazine wearing  a dress from Burberry Prosum Spring Summer 2010 looking absolutely stunning. I don’t usually like curly blonde hair but Im loving this look on Lily.

A few weeks back a list was circulating the fashion blogs about how much different celebs get paid to sit front row at fashion week. Well if those figures are to be believed then Burberry must have shelled out a lot because they had one of the most star studded front rows I have seen in ages. The Olsen twins were seated next to Kate Hudson, Kristen Stewart, Claire Danes and Dazed and Confused cover star, Mia Wasikowska...the list is endless. Notably missing from the show was Emma Watson.

Burberry once again used the ruching that was a key element of their Spring Summer 2010 collection except this time they used a darker colour palette that is perfect for Autumn Winter. The feminine cuts of the dresses and skirts  was juxtaposed with the  masculine  cut of the womens military style coats. Another trend in the Burberry Autumn Winter 2010 collection was exposed zips, which gave the  pieces a deconstructed look.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but Emma Watson appeared to be missing in action at the Burberry show. However, the POPE of the fashion world, Anna Wintour was also in attendance She was missing her trademark sunglasses. I guess it was okay for  people to see that she actually like this show.

Burberry was one the first brands to stream their fashion show online. Now the rest of the fashion pack at LFW has caught on and  London Fashion Week will now be streamed online. Burbery is always one step of the competition so they have decided to go one step further host the first  ever 3d  Fashion show.

"We are the first ever truly global fashion show. We will be simultaneously live streaming our show using 3D technology directly to New York, Paris, Dubai, Tokyo and LA. This unprecedented event will enable people to experience the energy and atmosphere of this show from around the world. 3D technology will bring our global audience into the London show space allowing them to see the colours and fabrics, to hear the music and to be a part of that moment when it all finally comes together.'' - Christopher Bailey, Chief Creative Officer.

Burberry's Autumn Winter 2010/11 show will take place at CHelsea COllege of Art on February 23rd and the show will be streamed live in 3D to events in New York, Paris, Dubai, Tokyo and Los Angeles.

As always the Burberry collection had really strong coats. "PROTECT, EXPLORE, INSPIRE A salute to our heritage – Burberry parade coats" -Christopher Bailey, Burberry Chief Creative Officer.

I have previously shown you a sneak preview of the Burberry Spring  Summer 2010 Campaign. This time I have received pictures of the  Burberry Campaign straight from the horses mouth. The wonderful people over at Burberry have sent me over the full campaign. It was styled by Christopher Bailey and photographed by Mario Testino. The campaign features an all British cast and  actress Emma Watson is joined by four British guys; Emma's younger brother Alex Watson, Matt Gilmour, Max Hurd and George Craig.

The images below express the brand's three collections: Burberry Prorsum, Burberry London, and Burberry Brit.

''This campaign celebrates our heritage and our timeless Burberry icons. The energy of the images and the dynamic cast reflect the different attitudes and expressions of the Burberry guy and girl.

We always talk about how much fun we have making these images and I wanted to capture some of the excitement that you feel on set when all these different creative attitudes and personalities come together. Mario has shot these as both stills and video so we can share some of that energy with a wider audience”. - Christopher Bailey, Burberry Chief Creative Officer
