Emma Watson is the
new face of Burberry and will star in the British firm's next ad campaign. The campaign was shot by Mario Testino.
It's a match made in style heaven to have Harry Potter star and fashionista Emma Watson be the new face of the Burberry fall ad campaign, especially to hear creative director Christopher Bailey tell it. "Having known and admired the lovely Emma Watson for quite some time, she was the obvious choice for this campaign who like the images she fronts, has a classic beauty a great character and a modern edge," says Bailey. And having a 19-year old front the brand also brings a dash of fun and youth, even to the shoot by Mario Testino itself.
Bailey reveals, "Emma's charm, intellect and brilliant sense of fun made the whole shoot feel like a picnic on the Thames." But even with her youth and fame, the campaign is meant to reflect the classic side of Burberry and its long history. Bailey explains, "I wanted the images to represent both the rich history and the modernity of the Burberry brand whilst at the same time reflecting a quiet beauty, timelessness and strength that is particularly significant today."
Emma looks lovely and we think she's a perfect choice for the line's fall campaign.
