Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne are 'explosive' in Burberry perfume ad

Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne are 'explosive' in Burberry perfume ad:

They're two of the most iconic supermodels of their respective eras.

Kate Moss's modelling and sense of style defined the Nineties while Cara Delevingne's distinctive beauty, particularly her strong eyebrows, have inspired women around the world to put down the tweezers.

Separately, women everywhere love them, they're worth millions and fashion houses are begging to work with them.

But together, they're "explosive," according to the top photographer who shot their advertisement for Burberry's new fragrance for women, My Burberry.

In a new behind-the-scenes video of that ad, Mario Testino said: "The moment we put Cara and Kate together for this campaign of My Burberry it was amazing - the energy. The two girls together were explosive."

The brand's creative chief and CEO, Christopher Bailey, agrees. "When I started to visualise what we wanted to capture from My Burberry I new it needed to be iconic. I knew it had to feel modern so we have the trench coat at the heart of the fragrance.

"But we also wanted iconic talent so we decided to work with two of our iconic Burberry girls who have never actually worked together."

Croydon-born Kate Moss, 40, was discovered at just 14 and went on to become - and remain - the UK's most enduring beauty and style icon. Her young counterpart Cara, 22, comes from a family of "it" girls and counts Joan Collins as a godmother.

The pair are also known for the ability to capture the headlines for more than just their ability to strike a pose - both like to party and their love lives have been the subject of endless speculation.

Mario Testino photographed the models for their separate Burberry campaigns, 12 years apart. He snapped Kate in 1999, languishing in a classic trench coat by a horse, while Cara's edgy 2011 ad saw her posing in black leather.

Christopher says, "You see them on the shoot having fun, you see them being thoughtful. You see Mario capturing the spirit of those two girls getting to know each other even better. What we wanted to do with this fragrance was capture, not Kate and Cara the models but, Kate and Cara the people."

Mario talked about the making of the TV ad: "We let it flow. We directed it up to a point but a lot of it was so mesmerising to see these two girls together - the energy that they could communicate between each other.

"That made it really My Burberry because it was their personal experience."
