Burberry has released the lush images of its Spring 2009 campaign. And what better place to photograph a spring collection than outside amongst greenery? Petersham Nurseries just outside London was the chosen location for these organic advertisements.
The label paid tribute to its roots, with creative director Christopher Bailey recruiting Mario Testino to shoot an all-British cast. Professional models Lily Donaldson, Eden Clarke, Alexina Graham, and Richard Wyndham star alongside actor Alex Pettyfer, musicians George Craig and Sam Beeton, and photographer Emily Hope.
They’re all wearing natural makeup to ensure they don’t show up Burberry’s statement jewelry, patterned dresses, trench coats, and of course, stunning handbags.
“I wanted the mood to be gentle, relaxed, romantic, and about a quiet, beautiful sense of luxury,” Christopher Bailey told WWD.
There are so many gorgeous images in this collection, but I can’t resist this photo of Lily Donaldson carrying the fabulous plaid Gardener Bag. Its large size and versatile monochromatic color scheme should make this stylish tote a massive hit.
We can expect to see this photo, and the others in the collection, in the February editions of our favorite fashion mags.
