New Seasons, New Ads!

As we all know, the new season always ushers in new ads. One of the S/S11 ad for Burberry, shown to the right, features a few things that I am really in love with.

First off, let me just say that I am un abashedly in love with leather. Now that I've put that out there, let's get down to business. Cara Delevingne's leather bomber and Tali Lennox's leather biker pants. I am a big fan of patched leather, so naturally, I love the ribbing and the zippers on the sleeves and the patchwork on the pants. I can't really tell much about the pieces specifically as of now because Prorsum hasn't released the pieces. We are in the dead of winter, after all. As soon as the Prorsum line is released, look for an update!

Now let's talk about Burberry slipping and sliding right through social norms. It's no secret that Burberry likes using androgynous models but this time, Burberry has really outdone themselves. Model, Tali Lennox, is none other than the great Annie Lennox's daughter! If you don't know who Annie Lennox is, you really are missing out. Most of you will remember her after reading names like The Tourists, Eurythmics, Dave Stewart, and Sweet Dreams. If not, here's a reminder:

Annie made a HUGE splash in the late 70's and continued to wow straight through the 80's and into the 90's. I feel as if androgynous Annie paved the way for her daughter, Tali, pictured above in the Spring/Summer 2011 Burberry Prorsum ad. Congrats to a mom and daughter team that is fearless in the eyes of social media. Keep up the good work!
