Unsurprisingly,
these images sparked a broader conversation on race and the campaign
was widely hailed as a positive step forward for ethnic diversity in
fashion.
Following the pairing of Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne for the My
Burberry fragrance campaign in September, the British brand once again
coupled an iconic supermodel with a new star for its Spring/Summer 2015
advertisements. In what was Naomi Campbell’s first Burberry shoot since
2001 and the fourth for 24-year old Jourdan Dunn, this is the first time
the house has launched a campaign starring exclusively black models.
Sporting the label’s classic trench and this season’s taffeta tiered
frocks and colour-blocked bags, the British beauties were lensed, as
usual, by Mario Testino.
