Olivia Dean is the new face of Burberry, promoting its latest perfume launch. The campaign video, set against the classic London backdrop, sees the singer wearing one of the brand’s iconic trench coats as she looks up at the city’s starling birds.
For many years, enormous numbers of starlings have taken to roosting on the ledges of buildings in central London, becoming synonymous with the city.
“It’s all about being in the sky and feeling free,” explained Dean, who also wrote the campaign soundtrack. “Of flying above everything and feeling… untouchable.”
In recent campaigns, Burberry has enlisted other top talent such as Olivia Colman, Lucky Blue Smith, Liu Wen and Amelia Gray, each taking a ‘love letter to London’ approach.
