Couture house [Burberry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-the-city) is known for its [timeless, classic trench coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-3), but it has released a series of sleek see-through plastic capes, featured in the Burberry London AW11 campaign, that are sure to get fashionistas hearts fluttering for several seasons (or more).

Available in both a men's and women's version, the chic rain capes appear in this Burberry London AW11 ad campaign, which was photographed by famed fashion photographer Mario Testino. The campaign stars Felicity [Jones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m1-watch-1) and Jake Cooper, who look decidedly cool and chic as they sport Burberry's latest fall weather staples. On Jones' head rests a black and white cow-print fur hat that is both chic and quirky at the same time.

The video shown here is a behind-the-scenes look at the Burberry London AW11 campaign shoot.
