When the March mags hit the newsstands, I flip past the fashion spreads and head straight to the ads. I have a huge appreciation for the creativity and hard work required to produce the campaigns, so I thought I'd highlight a few of my favorites from this season. Topping the list? Burberry Prorsum: shot by Mario Testino and starring Emma Watson, these images have me salivating!
The Burberry website features a 'making of' video for the campaign. After viewing it I knew I had three choices: (1) Magically transform into a gamine British model/actress (2) Thaw my Visa from its block of ice and go on a Burberry spree, thereby guaranteeing divorce papers from the Huz (3) Make a series of inspiration boards based on the haute ethereal vibe of these ads. It was a surprisingly hard decision.
Is it creepy of me to say that 18-year-old Emma looks beyond sexy in these photos? 'Cause she does, in a nubile, inbred aristocrat kind of way. It doesn't hurt that she's surrounded by a passel of oddly cute British boys, just the sort that make me feel like a lewd American cougar. And less importantly, aren't these posh feminine interiors lovely as well?
P.S. On an unrelated note, remember when I swooned over Sine NY? They're offering readers of The City Sage a 20% discount--just head to their website and enter the code Spring20 at checkout! Methinks 'tis time to pop that frozen Visa in the microwave...

This is a beautiful blog. I'm never disappointed when I stop by. I'm not usually a purple/pink fan, but this collection of pictures is making rethink that.

I have been swooning over this Burberry ad campaign! Emma is simply stunning - she's certainly taking over the world these days between her wealth from Harry Potter and her foray into fashion! My favorite is the lavender trench in that last photo (the boy to her left is actually her brother)! You've put together some lovely inspiration boards, my dear!

Great post! The guy in the white shirt in the last photo is actually Emma's little brother!

swooning. Those brits. They sure can do it all when they want to, can't they? Love to see an iconic fashion house coming up with some hotness.

Beautiful set! I recently discovered your blog, really enjoying what you do. I used to work right next door to Burberry's head quarters in London and every day I'd slow right down as I passed by to gawp at the huge campaign photos of Emma et all in their reception area!

Yeah, good stuff!!! Nice work!

Emma Watson goes beyond her image in Harry Potter. Even when she sports her short bob, she doesn't look mannish at all.
