If you weren’t invited to the Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2011 womenswear runway show, don’t fret—the renowned brand’s Retail Theatre concept is just as, if not more, exciting.

Burberry is letting customers behind the shiny veneer of its Fall/Winter ad campaign. Usually the stuff of glossy magazine pages and fantasy-inducing dreams, Burberry has pulled the curtain back to reveal the philosophy and strategy behind its advertising, straight from the mouth of Creative Director Christopher Bailey. Burberry reveals the process through a documentary-style video with Bailey, and one that details the models, musicians and actors that make up the cast of the campaign (including model-turned-Megan Fox-replacement, Rosie Huntington Whiteley).
