Two supermodels are always better than one, and nobody understands this quite like Burberry. Last season the label brought together two of England’s most iconic faces—that would be Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne—for its My Burberry beauty campaign, shot by Mario Testino. The Internet might still be reeling from that collision of effortless cool, but today the brand has announced another incredible British duo to represent its Spring/Summer 2015 collection: Naomi Campbell and Jourdan Dunn.
Despite their successful careers (and the fact that they’ve both posed for Burberry in the past), this pair has only joined together for the first time in this Burberry Prorsum campaign. According to the brand’s creative director, Christopher Bailey, it’s a long overdue match made in fashion heaven. “Naomi and Jourdan—two great British icons, two strong, beautiful women and the two perfect faces for our new campaign,” he said. This marks 24-year-old Dunn’s fourth Burberry campaign (she also starred with Delevingne in 2011) and the second for 44-year-old Campbell (who, coincidentally, starred with Moss in the ads in 2001).
The images, which were also shot by Testino, showcase the latest colorful take on the classic Burberry look. Think hand-painted fabrics, wasp waist denim jackets, and book-cover-inspired accessories—all paired with the newest incarnation of the classic Burberry trench, of course.
“It is always a pleasure to work with Mario Testino. We came up in the business together twenty-eight years ago, so have an understanding and ease in working together,” Campbell says. “His photography is special and the results are always stunning. And I was thrilled to work with Jourdan Dunn for the first time—it was a lot of fun. But above all, it’s always rewarding for an artist to work on a campaign for a world-class product.”
