Burberry Spring Summer 2010 Ad Campaign

Applause goes to Burberry for consistently supporting British talents as a homegrown luxury brand. Shows the brand values its heritage and values British talents to exemplify the Burberry sensibility.

This Spring Summer 2010, we see the return of Emma Watson who embodies classic, effortless beauty and am incredibly talented. They say good genes run in the family, so Christopher Bailey decides to cast another member of the Watson family, namely Alex Watson, brother of Emma alongside our English belle. Both look just stunning in the campaign. Other cute faces in the cast include Matt Gilmour, Max Hurd and George Craig. Lucky Emma, the 'rose' amongst all the handsome 'thorns'. (Oh how chivalrous the guys are, they even helped to carry Emma's 'women's bags' for her!:-P)

Shot by Mario Testino, the fresh lighting and slightly purple overtones lends a sweet summery feel but contrasted by the military details in the ready to wear pieces. Very interesting:-) I like! This Spring Summer 2010 collection brings back wonderful memories of attending the actual fashion show in London. My first! But will have to give the FW2010 men's show a miss due to work and resource issues. Hope I will be able to attend the Spring Summer 2011 shows! Burberry will always have a special place in my heart:-) Such beautiful clothes and vibe that I get from the brand:-)

Burberry Opens Burberry Brit And Burberry London Stores In 444 Madison Ave, NY

Burberry is fast expanding its footprint in the US. All Burberry fans in NYC have much to rejoice as 2 new stores (for its diffusion lines) have been added to the Burberry empire namely Burberry Brit and Burberry London. Both proud free standing boutiques of 1500 sq metres size takes its rightful place on the north (Burberry London) and south side (Burberry Brit) of their recently opened Burberry America Headquarters.

Burberry Brit emphasizes on the youthful expression of dishevelled elegant casual of the Burberry guy and girl. The more relaxed collection centered around outerwear, the Burberry check and denim.
Burberry London however is all about the much elegant tailored expression of the sophisticated Burberry customer, with outerwear, the black and white Beat check and Burberry's key competency in sartorial tailoring as its primary focus.

Here's a sneak peak at some of the best looks from the upcoming Burberry Brit's Spring Summer 2010 collection. I love the mix of sporty attitudes and refined casual chic. The signature Burberry checks have also been given new spontaneity with a new Nova Paint Heart pattern that is sure to win the hearts of girls all over! And the success of the portrait print men's tee from FW2009 collection sees a new 'twin brother' for the upcoming collection. I also love the military bags that is shown on the lookbook (is that Burberry Prorsum or Brit?). Tough chic:-P

(Will post more pics of the Burberry London SS2010 collection on a seperate post:-P)
