BURBERRY UNVEILS AW19 CAMPAIGN SHOT BY NICK KNIGHT & DANKO STEINER

Ricardo x Danko x Nick. The latest in a slew of campaign releases, Ricardo Tisci & Burberry upped the ante this season by enlisting the talents of both Danko Steiner and Nick Knight to capture their autumn/winter 2019 campaign. Serving as essentially two different shoots, the Danko Steiner images portray a host of models such as Gigi Hadid and Irina Shayk in a beachy setting wearing some of the season’s more classic, timeless garments; In contrast, Nick’s shoot offers up a more contemporary take with a cleaner setting and models decked out in the label’s more forward-thinking, edgy pieces. Check out some shots of both below, alongside a selection of BTS moments from the impressive production.
