Cara Delevingne lands Burberry Body Tender Fragrance Campaign.
It seems Cara is everywhere this year. Her name is on everyones lips and we just can not get enough of this beautiful young woman. The sister of Poppy Delevingne has graced nearly every major runway this season ( Marc Jacobs, Burberry, Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel, Pucci,....), landed several Vogue covers and modeled in many big ad campaigns.
The 20-year-old model just added another high fashion project to her already-full plate: the face of Burberry BODY Tender, the new perfume from Burberry. Cara has posed for Burberry fashion campaigns before, but fronting a fragrance is a definite step up.

Here is the second post about Burberry. Or at least something Burberry related.
This post is going to be about Cara Delevingne. If you would know me personally you would know that I love her with every bit of my heart :-) I even have got a wall dedicated to her. The wall is full with pictures from her, which I collected since 2011. I am going to post a picture on my twitter so if you want to check it out feel free to follow :-) - @AboutBurberry -.
Cara was at nearly every show in the last year.

So here is some more information. Cara is 20 years old and the most successful british model at the moment. Her high is 1,77 meters. But she is best known for her bushy eyebrows. They just cant be tamed is what she says about them, they are like animals so I just let them be. She has two sisters Poppy (currently modelling in the Thomas Sabo campaign) and Chloe. It was even rumoured that she is dating Harry Styles from One Direction. It looks like she is on top of the world at the moment with bestie Rita Ora and Jourdan Dunn. Everyone is talking about her at the moment she even ran 13 shows at the New York fashion week and the most booked model at the ones in London. So if you haven't herd about her you must be from the moon.
Delevingne was named by the Evening Standard as one of "London's 1,000 Most Influential of 2011", in the category of "Most Invited", and is currently ranked number 17 on models.com's 50 Top Models.She also won Model Of The Year 2012 at the British Fashion Awards.

She is also currently at the British vogue cover. The photos were shooted by Mario Testino.
So if you noticed a little bit changed. For example the name and the layout. The new posts are also going to be different. Tanja will not be posting anymore. Not that we are not friends anymore or anything like that it is just that Tanja has not that much spare time but she is going to be like a guest host so I think when we are in London she will help me with my new posts. This post is going to be about Burberry. I have to warn you that there are going to be a lot Burberry related posts in the future. I decided that the first theme should be the aw 2013 runway show and collection. Has anyone watched the show ? How about leaving a comment and tell me what you think about it.
Here is a picture of a few looks. I have to admit I always like Cara's outfits the most but I guess that she is because I think she is the best model at the moment.
The show was held in Kensington garden near Hyde park in London like always.
What Tanya Burr says about the make-up, "The make-up look was sophisticated but with naughts edge and a slight nod to the 60's with heavy feel of the lashes. This playful element was reflected in hair with the gorgeous and glossy blow dry with lots of lovely volume." after talking to make-up artist Wendy Rowe.

Here is a video of the full show. If you have not watched it yet you should definitely do it now.
I like the show a lot. The music is amazing as always, Tom Odell was performing live in the background of the show while the models were walking down the catwalk.
Burberry's traditional trench coat was given a modern makeover this season, with designer Christopher Bailey adorning the iconic item with touches of leather, rubber and latex.
There are also a lot heart prints and animal prints in the new collection. So the new collection has a modern twist. I must say I am not that much of a fan of animal prints and all this leather touches, but it is still a Burberry collection so it is simple amazing and wonderful.
So it's definitely not a waste of time to watch the show.
So and here is my favourite look from the new collection. Of course it is the one Cara was wearing.
