Daniel Lee's Burberry Spring 2023 Campaign by Tyrone Lebon Targets British Identity AOC Fashion

The Burberry Family Expands

South Korean football star Son Heung-min became a Burberry ambassador in June 2022. The brand devotes major online presence to a serious interview with the Premier League player, now living in the UK.

Entering the Burberry fam is Georgia May Jagger, who delivers near British royalty as the daughter of The Rolling Stones singer Sir Mick Jagger and model Jerry Hall. Jagger also delivers a sensual jolt to the emerging Burberry narrative.

The current campaign partial talent list includes Georgia May Jagger, Jun Ji-Hyun, Lennon Gallagher, Liberty Ross, Raheem Sterling, Shygirl, Skepta, Son Heung-min, Sophie Ahmad and Vanessa Redgrave.

Lebon captures these new personalities in a similarly intimate style from the first release.

The collection’s emblematic rose becomes a campaign in itself based on Burberry’s IG and the Fall 2023 collection.The rose is also the central motif of the accompanying video, blooming in time-lapse footage of the flowers opening up people portraits, all accompanied by John Glacier’s poetic score.

The Star of the Show

The star of the campaign is the Equestrian Knight logo, revived from the brand’s archives and oh so Burberry. Add him to a corgi image, and the Brits are swooning. I adore its presence everywhere — in an almost off-kilter manner. The knight is also ubiquituous in the fall 2023 collection — on labels in unexpected places. ‘Off-kilter’ is a Burberry theme on my mind.
