Burberry has just launched its Spring/Summer 2024 campaign, and two very familiar faces feature in Daniel Lee’s latest designs – Bukayo Saka and Son Heung-min.
.
The two North London football stars front the campaign alongside global celebrities and models such as Tems, Rachel Weisz and Jourdan Dunn. The star-studded lineup were styled in looks from Burberry’s Resort 2024 collection and shot across London.
Saka looked great in a green checkered shirt and a vintage Burberry trench, while Son was wearing a smart houndstooth suit. The two are featured in the campaign after showing together with Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze at the British luxury brand’s SS24 show in September.
Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min and Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka, representing the London club rivalry were pictured sitting together in the front row.
A video released on the internet showed the pair looking uncomfortable when the photographers surrounded them.
They did not look at each other and Saka looked a bit nervous as well which must have made him realize that his sitting alongside the captain of the rivals would not play out well among supporters.

Burberry continues to attract athletes, including football players, into the luxury market by appointing some of the biggest names in the sport as brand ambassadors. As a result, we won’t be seeing these faces compete with models for the foreseeable future.
