BURBERRY refused to confirm or deny this morning whether Robert Pattison has been approached to be the face of the brand. Newspaper reports this weekend suggested that the actor was asked to follow in the footsteps of his Harry Potter co-star Emma Watson to be the label's new campaign star, but he turned the job down to focus on his acting career.
A source told this weekend's Mirror that the Twilight actor had declined a £1million deal to be the British brand's latest model, asserting: "I'm an actor, not a model".
The source added: "As far as Robert sees things he's an actor by trade and that's his art. He doesn't want to start becoming a brand or anything. Burberry really hoped Robert would do it. They know he wears Burberry occasionally and he's met Christopher [Bailey - the chief creative officer] and the team before. They only wanted him. Robert's look would have been perfect so they're back to square one."

^^^ Why don't they just give it to Jourdan and be done with it already

 

[FashionPower]

I think Pat is the right guy for Burberry,even if I don't see him as a fashion icon

RPat + JDunn =

Not a RPat fan AT ALL. But I think for Burberry he isn't even that bad...

Leighton Meester shoots a commercial for the next Vera Wang fragrance on Saturday (November 7) in New York City.

The 24-year-old Gossip Girl actress landed a two-year, $3 million dollar deal to be the face of Vera Wang’s new fragrance. The campaign was shot over the weekend in New York City by photographer Carter Smith, with the fragrance slated to hit department stores internationally next summer.

How about Emma Watson & RP? I'm sure Daniel Radcliffe wouldn't be amused.

No Burberry For Robert: Robert Pattinson apparently declined a £1 million offer to be the new face of Burberry. When asked why he was denying the offer, Pattinson replied “I’m an actor, not a model.” {Vogue UK}

[Squizree]

You can't expect a Twilight actor to understand Burberry

 

[SoBlonde]

Burberry has really dropped in my book after their SS11 fashion show and after reading that they only wanted Robert Pattinson for their campaign and "now they're back to square one."

 

[Squizree]

^ I think Burberry is the most youth-oriented brand at the moment, relatively speaking of course. So it's no surprise that they'd go for someone young, British, handsome and famous like Robert Pattinson. He's a walking goldmine at the moment. What's so different about casting Robert Pattinson from Twilight than casting Emma Watson from Harry Potter. It's not difficult to see what they're doing.

Re: Leighton Meester Vera Wang contract.

Is that a typical amount for a 2 year perfume contract?

 

[LagerfeldBoy]

I'd take Aaron Johnson over Robert Pattinson.

Oh gawd yes!

Dior Homme - M: Baptiste Giabiconi; Ph: Karl Lagerfeld; Info: wwd
​

MAN IN MOTION: Karl Lagerfeld sure gets around. Over the weekend, he was spotted in Ravenna, Italy, snapping photos of its spectacular mosaics from the 5th and 6th centuries. Turns out they’re for a book the designer is compiling for Chanel’s Metier D’Arts fashion show on Dec. 7 in Paris. “I had no time to make a movie,” he shrugged, explaining the Paris-Byzantium theme of the collection, which links to the Chanel founder’s penchant for Byzantine-style jewelry — a link rich enough to set Lagerfeld’s imagination racing. Lagerfeld also recently shot the Dior Homme campaign and cast his favorite male model and frequent sidekick, Baptiste Giabiconi. The forthcoming spots, which he described as graphic and modern, telegraph a move away from the edgy youths long associated with the brand. “There’s a move back to handsomeness,” Lagerfeld declared.

^ Omg, so surprising.
