Naomi Campbell and Jourdan Dunn for Burberry's Latest Campaign

It was just this past September when Burberry released its new ‘My Burberry’ fragrance campaign starring supermodels Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne in their first ever photo shoot. 
Now, just when we thought Burberry couldn’t top its model dream team, the British label has gone ahead and released its latest campaign starring those other “two great British icons:” Naomi Campbell and Jourdan Dunn.
Shot in London by longtime Burberry collaborator, Mario Testino, Naomi and Jourdan star in the new spring/summer ‘15 ads, which as it tuns out, mark a number of firsts for both the brand and its models.  For starters, the campaign not only celebrates Naomi’s first appearance for the brand since 2001 (she was then joined by her pal Kate), but it also marks her first time teaming up with Jourdan.  This is also the first time the fashion house has exclusively cast black models in a campaign — a major feat in the ongoing struggle for increased diversity in fashion.
“Naomi and Jourdan — two great British icons, two strong, beautiful women and the two perfect faces for our new campaign,” said Burberry’s chief creative and CEO Christopher Bailey.
Much like Kate and Cara’s campaign, the two British beauties appear to be the best of friends as they’re depicted cozying up to one another in colorful pieces from the brand’s spring collection including its famous trenchcoats, which Bailey has reimagined for the season in bold shades of pink and turquoise and printed with painterly illustrations of vintage book covers and British flora.

“Burberry is such an iconic brand and I feel very proud to be a part of their campaign and their team,” Jourdan told British Vogue. “This campaign is even more special for me because I was shot with Naomi Campbell for the first time - someone who I admire and respect within the fashion industry.”
Naomi  was equally as pleased to share the spotlight with the 24-year-old model adding, “I was thrilled to work with Jourdan Dunn for the first time - it was a lot of fun.  But above all, it’s always rewarding for an artist to work on a campaign for a world-class product.”

The full spring/summer ‘15 campaign will be released in the January 2015 issues of fashion magazines, but you can catch a first look at the model-filled images and behind-the-scenes video from the shoot below!
