Even in the middle of summer, luxury fashion brands are looking toward future seasons and the Burberry Winter 2023 campaign, which recently debuted, is a great foreshadowing of what is to come. The campaign launched in the United Kingdom, with a beautiful photoshoot. The portraits are captured against the picturesque landscapes of the Isle of Skye and Giant's Causeway. The campaign stars members of the Burberry family, including Faye Wei Wei, Jake Hodder, Kesewa Aboah, and Kit Butler, wearing apparel from Burberry's Fall/Winter 2023 collection, the first under new creative director Daniel Lee.
