Burberry art directs campaigns in-house E-mail
Monday, 14 May 2007

One of the industry's most iconic creative directors is no longer leading Burberry's fashion campaigns, The Daily has learned. Fabien Baron, the creative director of French Vogue, and the hip, venerable house have gone their separate ways - at least where the fashion is concerned. Baron confirmed Friday that he did not work on Burberry's Fall/Winter 2007 campaign. Their collaboration will continue, however, with the brand's line of fragrances.

"There are no hard feelings; it was all about timing," said a spokesperson for Baron & Baron. "Burberry has been slowly doing more things in house. We knew we weren't going to work on the fall campaign earlier this year, and it was not a surprise. It's just the way it goes. Fabien and Mario are working on an upcoming fragrance campaign together."

Post-Fabien, who has been at the helm of Burberry's fashion portfolios for nearly a decade, the campaigns will be handled in house by a team led by chief designer Christopher Bailey, who will continue working with photographer Mario Testino. Meanwhile, the responsibilities of David Lipman, whose Lipman Agency has been Burberry's media buying agency of record, have also been scaled back.
