Burberry's Fall/Winter 2014 campaign marked a significant moment in the brand's ongoing evolution of its advertising strategy. Departing slightly from previous, more overtly luxurious presentations, the campaign adopted a youthful, energetic vibe, reflecting a shift towards a broader, more inclusive target audience. This approach, characterized by a vibrant cast of models and a focus on capturing the spirit of youthful rebellion, would significantly influence Burberry's subsequent campaigns and solidify its position as a brand appealing to both established luxury consumers and a younger, digitally savvy generation. This article will delve into the specifics of the 2014 campaign, examining its key elements, its impact on the Burberry brand, and its place within the broader context of Burberry's advertising history, touching upon aspects like outerwear, the "Burberry Stories" initiative, and the lasting influence of its signature plaid.
Burberry's Latest Campaign (at the time): A Shift in Focus
In 2014, Burberry's "latest campaign" was a significant departure from some of its earlier, more traditionally styled advertisements. While previous campaigns often showcased a more polished, high-fashion aesthetic, the Fall/Winter 2014 campaign injected a raw energy and a sense of unconventionality. This was largely achieved through the casting choices. The campaign featured a stellar lineup of models, including the then-rising star Cara Delevingne, alongside established names like Suki Waterhouse. This mix of established and up-and-coming talent spoke volumes about Burberry's evolving brand identity – a blend of classic luxury with a modern, edgy twist. The imagery itself was less about pristine perfection and more about capturing spontaneous moments, reflecting a more relaxed and relatable portrayal of the brand. The campaign's overall aesthetic was less rigidly formal and more relaxed, reflecting a shift towards a younger, more dynamic consumer base.
Burberry Outerwear Campaign: Showcasing Heritage and Modernity
A core component of the Burberry brand identity is its outerwear. The iconic trench coat, a symbol of British heritage and style, has long been a centerpiece of Burberry’s advertising. The 2014 campaign naturally featured a strong emphasis on outerwear, showcasing the brand's updated takes on classic designs alongside innovative new pieces. The campaign's photography highlighted the versatility and practicality of Burberry's outerwear, demonstrating how these pieces could be seamlessly incorporated into a variety of styles and settings. The models were photographed in both formal and informal settings, demonstrating the adaptability of the garments and reinforcing their appeal to a wider demographic. The campaign effectively communicated the brand's commitment to quality craftsmanship while simultaneously showcasing its contemporary design sensibilities. This strategic approach allowed Burberry to appeal to both its loyal customer base and a new generation of fashion-conscious consumers.
