Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

From the campaign to the screen

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is an English model whose work includes Victoria’s Secret, Burberry and Marks & Spencer. She appeared in the 2011 Burberry Body fragrance campaign and also acted in Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Mad Max: Fury Road. Her career crosses fashion advertising, commercial product collaborations and film.

A fragrance portrait and a film costume serve different purposes. Looking at her work through that distinction makes the images more interesting: one may concentrate attention on skin, fabric and a single gesture, while another situates a body within a fictional world. Her public wardrobe offers a further point of comparison, particularly in the balance between tailoring, fluid fabric and accessories.
