The children ad campaign is just too cute, lol

I can see that.
I like the ads. I much prefer them to the last few Agyness/Lily Donaldson/crew ads (though I do like Agyness in The Beat ad).

Rosie is just too gorgeous in these. i'm in love with this campaign.

Not my favourite this season. It's good that they changed the concept but I'm not feeling it.

Such nice colours just gone like that with black and white picture. And the background is not british enough for me. I need a word with the creative director

[kuli_trendy]

She has a vibe and an appearance that definitely clashes with how Burberry has always been perceived; ie, very elegant, sophisticated, almost matronly, yeah? It appears Christopher is all about changing that with appeal with his latest campaigns being very youth orientated, which is why this is so difficult for me to like at all as an ad. It seems a throwback to the older marketing of Burberry, but with a sleazy, ahh... slag dressed up in Burberry.

I can only imagine what later happened in that park. She just doesn't look like someone who takes tea at four, you know what I mean?

agree hahaha, but definitely rosie is 100 times much more classy than agyness

I've never seen her in anything for VS and I got the low rent vibe too . (Never heard of her before the Burberry campaign news.) Her face just isn't very interesting, only the lips and, well...basically she's a Doutzen Kroes for me. Awkwardly out-of-place in anything not sold outside of malls.

this is so refreshing, no agyness anymore yesss! rosie brings the drama to the picture that agyness' quirkyness could never do

[*ana*]

haha i know i said i liked it, and i still do. but after looking at all the pics i'm starting to think rosie is a bit boring (which sam riley definitely is not), and to be honest i don't like her very much in the eyewear ads. she looks amazing in this shot though: http://img170.imagevenue.com/img.php..._122_847lo.jpg
and, of course, this campaign is still MUCH better than last season's.

I feel its lost its punch from previous seasons....

[ponytrot]

Honestly,

No Agyness (Laura Hollins) = WIN

that's how dire its become...

Her face looks weird in some shots, but I really like this campaign overall.
