Lily Donaldson looks great, but I just don't like the look of Agyness.
Besides, these days Burberry can pretend to be British as much as it wants in its adverts. It's all talk. As soon as it closed its factory in the UK to outsource manufacturing to a sweatshop in Asia, that's Burberry over for me. If you're going to capitalise on an image of being luxuriously British, then have your product be British, by skilled workers paid a proper wage. But I'm sure the origin won't matter to most buyers...
Even the celebrity face of one of their perfume lines, actor Ioan Gruffudd, campaigned against the closure. To no avail, even though the company had a profit year.
