爱,我说了算 - True love never changes, only its subject does. Thus, my love in my way.
For 2019 Chinese valentines day, starting with a teaser Zhou Dongyu will represent the young generation, looking for answers about true love from several senior couples. We make the statement that “True love never changes, only its subject does”.
We believe that in the modern age, the subject of love should never be defined by the traditional way or by others, it should only be defined by you. Thus we present various kinds of model interpretations for true love of the young generation: love for self, pet, idol, and self.
# My love, my way #
There are hundreds of Chinese idioms (成语) related to love which many people use in their daily lives. But many young Chinese people do not know how these idioms came about nor its origination story.
For 2021 CVD Campaign, we pay homage to the beauty of the Chinese language. The poetry of idioms. Interpreted in a fresh and Morden way, through the lens of Burberry’s whimsical storytelling.
In cooperation with our creative partner, we created five different stories based on traditional Chinese love stories idioms that we reinterpreted in a modern way. These stories were fully 3D animated, featuring Burberry POP Deer wearing the CVD collection.
