Fab Ad: Burberry Spring/Summer '08

January 14, 2008

When it comes to the models — Agyness Deyn and Lily Donaldson — Burberry's Spring/Summer '08 ads are playing the same game as last Fall. But when it comes to color, it's a whole new world. Unlike the previous black and white ads, photographer Mario Testino shot the latest campaign in color. And what vibrant colors indeed! This reflects "a very colorful collection and a younger mood at Burberry," a spokesman for the brand said. Although black and white photography has its allure, I am loving this fresh side of Burberry. It's hot, hip, and makes me want to jump into the picture. Do you agree?

They are fine, previous Burberry campaigns have been very 'British', for example before they used kids like Max Irons and Fenton Bailey, for me, they almost seemed to advertise a lifestyle not just the clothes. Which sort of characterised the brand.But they seem to be diverting from this theme, and aiming at the 'young and trendy' crowd, this looks a little like an evening I spent out with the 'St Martins kids' in Mayfair.I didn't recognise Alex Petyfer, he looks...gay/english/st martins kid? And a girl at the back looks like Peaches Geldof.

That's totally Lily Donaldson. Sasha does the Prada ads.

I could be wrong, but I think I'm not, that the second model in the ads is Sasha Pivarova, not Lily Donaldson.

I love the color. I like that the models aren't so pose-y pose-y.

I adore Burberry. I love everything they make (except anything with the nova check) These ads are great. They still to the burberry theme but are really colourful which is different for them. I love them.

Is Burberry going to make its famous plaid a different color too? I like the color, but I don't see what the big deal is with Agyness Deyn.

This is not at all what I was expecting from Burberry. And it is because it has color. I was sure their ads well be again black and white. I don't hate it but these are not my fave Burberry ads, and not because of the colors :D I don't know everybody, looks so dazed and confused.

i love Agyness Deyn! These ads are cute, but a big change from the previous B & W.

Tulia & Bella, I agree. I liked the ads when I first saw them but I couldn't help thinking that with all those models taking part, they could have used a couple that weren't Caucasian. I noticed this again the other day when I was flicking through Vogue, where are the new Alek Weks and Naomi Campbells etc? I think it's way past the time we should be reflecting the diversity of our society in both the UK and US within fashion and advertising.

The clothes are all right I guess but both Agyness and Lily are not good choices. Agyness is too masculine to be able to pull off short hair with this dress and Lily... I always thought she looks like an ugly kid.

Tullia beat me to the punch. Why so white? I love the colors of these clothes, but I don't understand why there aren't any people of color. Especially because it's a Brit brand, and London is a hugely diverse city!
