JolieBritTish - Burberry Sell Their 'Body' With The Best Body In Town, Feb 10, 2012

There's a degree of indecency about the ad campaign however. The traditional Burberry trench has been strategically placed around the nearly nude figure when it should be fully concealing it instead. But this is a world where class has taken a hike, and Rosie's irresistible charm is pleasing in any state. View the final ad campaign here."
