Burberry Rocks



We're obsessed with Burberry's current ads.
So simple, but the clothes, the models (these two pictured especially... she's clearly French, Belgian, Danish and is that Patrick Wolf?,) everything is right on. I'm apprehensive about saying this, but they're kind of kicking Dior's ass at the moment.

Now, if they would just get rid of that plaid...

*edit: Turns out that is indeed Patrick Wolf.
Go figure.

**edit 2: Patrick's friend is Agyness Deyn... who is indeed English.
[Thanks Jamie Latendresse!]


Things that will never go out of style: smart detail, S&M/military fetish, formal wear, and of course everything black and cut super narrow. They nailed it all here and put it on people who look like they're actually interesting to talk to and hang out with (Deyn herself is a designer and plays in a band, and Wolf is... well, Patrick Wolf.) Bravo.

Thought about this post when I was in town last weekend. We stopped into Burberry in Soho and they were definitely NOT embracing this tack in the store. It was almost like they were hiding it, still unsure if it was what they wanted to be showcasing.
