Jourdan On Working With Naomi

Jourdan Dunn has spoken about what it was like to work with one of the models she most admires but has never worked with before, Naomi Campbell,for the new Burberry campaign. The models teamed up for the British brand's spring/summer 2015 images - following in the footsteps of another Brit model duo, Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne, last season.

"Burberry is such an iconic brand and I feel very proud to be a part of their campaign and their team," Dunn told us this morning. "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."

Photographed, as always, by Mario Testino and creative directed by Christopher Bailey, the shoot also features other British talents: George Barnett, drummer from These New Puritans and current face of the Burberry Brit Rhythm fragrance campaign; and George Le Page, drummer in Of Empires, who also opened and closed the Burberry Prorsum menswear spring/summer 2015 show. The campaign is Dunn's fourth for the label, but is Campbell's first since 2001, when she starred alongside her friend - and fellow Burberry girl - Kate Moss.

"Naomi and Jourdan - two great British icons, two strong, beautiful women and the two perfect faces for our new campaign," Bailey added. "It is, as always, a real privilege to work with them."

"I admire what Christopher and the entire Burberry family are doing so it's great to be back working with the brand again," Campbell said of the London label. "We've all witnessed the evolution of this great British brand and it is a privilege to be a part of its continuing progress within the world of fashion. It is always a pleasure to work with Mario Testino; we came up in the business together 28 years ago, so have an understanding and ease in working together. His photography is special and the results are always stunning. And 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."
