Chief creative officer Christopher Bailey and co. fired off a series of “Thank-yous” after hitting the milestone, which served as yet another technical triumph for the iconic label. In October, Burberry was ranked as the most digitally-competent brand with the highest digital IQ in an index created by NYU’s think tank, L2 Luxury Lab. And while there are other fashion brands with more Facebook friends — Victoria’s Secret has over 16 million and Converse over 21 million — they’re not trying to sell you a $1400 bag anytime soon.

“Burberry Body is the next chapter in our history, and a launch we are all so excited about,” Christopher Bailey, Burberry Chief Creative Officer, said. “It’s the Burberry world translated into a scent, embodying every facet of the brand including our music, collections, scent, platforms and communities.”

Check out some of Rosie’s behind-the-scenes shots on page 2.

Mario Testino shot Rosie for the scent’s campaign, directed by Burberry chief creative officer, Christopher Bailey who had this to say about his new Body:

“Burberry Body is the most exciting launch that we have ever created and captures the iconic spirit of the brand today in a striking and sensual way.”

As for Huntington-Whiteley, she’s just happy to strip down and thinks that being the first “Burberry Body” is an “amazing compliment.”

Young boys — and some girls — everywhere heave a collective “Thank you.”

On hand to toast Wintour — who never met a Chanel bouclé tweed she didn’t drape over her frail back — were Karl Lagerfeld, Donatella Versace with bff Riccardo Tisci — fresh off his glorious fall 2011 haute couture collection for Givenchy – Lanvin‘s Alber Elbaz, Anna’s Italian counterpart Franca Sozzani, Mario Testino, LVMH head honcho Bernard Arnault, YSL‘s Stefano Pilati, Burberry‘s Christopher Bailey,  Tommy Hilfiger, professional dandy and Vogue‘s editor-at-large Hamish Bowles and the Rhoda to Anna’s Mary, Grace Coddington.

According to the Kaiser, “We had this very nice cocktail, where Anna made a very funny speech.” I have a hard time believing at least one of those facts. [WWD]

I need a handwriting expert on this immediately. Either Burberry’s Christopher Bailey is a doctor by night (like the Human Centipede doctor, not Patch Adams) or he moonlights as Jack the Ripper (that guys still around, right?). I don’t think I’ve ever seen handwriting that’s so terrifying before!!!

I will be watching your live-stream Chris, if only to prevent you from finding out where I live…

If you guys remember anything from the Burberry Fall collection, it was the abundance of furs and shearlings. Starting this July, a bit early for me if you ask, Colette will be selling an exclusive Burberry military style parka designed by Christopher Bailey. Can’t wait to chuckle at the price tag on this piece.

Burberry Prorsum closed London’s 25th anniversary Fashion Week, and for good reason. I’m usually not the biggest Burberry fan, but Christopher Bailey’s Spring 2010 collection was a show-stopping, draped heaven. Classic trenches were updated with draping and ruching while dresses got shorter, more youthful and scrunchier. Yes, the Burberry classic gingham did make an appearance via several handbags, but don’t worry, it was kept a subtle minimum!

GALLERY: RUNWAY: Burberry Prorsum Spring 2010

Thanks Style!

1. Michael Lewis: Lewis is footwear’s best kept secret and has impressed the likes of Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton, Christopher Bailey at Burberry and Tom Ford at Gucci with his shoe-shaped talents – before recently stepping into the role of creative consultant at Kurt Geiger. He brings his own label collection to LFW for the first time this season.

Has an eye for: What women really want – fun yet luxurious, affordable shoes.

Is inspired by: “Early Kenzo and Russian fairytales.”

Shop it: Exclusively at Dover Street Market for autumn/winter 2009.

2. Michael van der Ham: The Dutch born designer’s Warhol art-inspired dresses caught the attention of more than one fashion insider during his autumn/winter 2009 Central St Martins show – for which he also scooped the L’Oreal Professional Award. Prior to this, the young impresario honed his talents with stints at Alexander McQueen and Sophia Kokosalaki.

Has an eye for: The eclectic – van der Ham’s mismatch approach to design ensures there’s never a dull moment.

Is inspired by: Women who aren’t afraid to be bold.

Will be: Showcasing as part of NEWGEN’s Ready-to-Wear exhibition at Somerset House.

3. Fred Butler: New kid on the block Fred began life as a set designer and prop maker before packing a style punch with her first jewellery collection of bold, bright and sculptural designs for autumn/winter 2009. Since then she has presented workshops at London’s Design Museum, guest lectured at the London College of Fashion and collaborated with Asos.com on their limited edition ‘Hit’ line.

Has an eye for: Creating “wearable sculpture,” by using graphic shapes, clashing colours and tactile forms.

Is inspired by: The unpredictable in the everyday.

Shop it: Online at Kabiri.co.uk this season.

4. Mark Fast: Since the success of the 28 year old Canadian’s Central St Martins graduate collection in 2007 (which was quickly snapped up by Browns Focus) the young designer has gone from strength to strength. His autumn/winter 2009 show featured a bold collection of black knitted body-con dresses, embellished with fringing and dramatic cut-out panels.

Has an eye for: Exquisite pieces that are contoured to the body.

Is inspired by: Finding innovative ways with knitwear.

Will be: Available from Browns Focus.

5. Eun Jeong: 2008′s Fashion Fringe winner, Eun Jeong leapt on the scene with a collection made entirely from white cotton lace. The Korean designer has since been working hard to develop her own label ‘1st element by hong eun jeong’.

Has an eye for: Neat pleats and effortless tailoring.

Is inspired by: Uniqueness in others.

Shop it: at Net-a-porter.com

6. Emilio de la Morena: Having trained as a sculptor in his native Spain before sharpening his fashion skills at Central St Martins in 2002, de la Morena’s designs are inspired by structural shapes and traditional Spanish artisan techniques.

Has an eye for: Fluid and feminine sculptural lines.

Is inspired by: The relationship between organic shapes and defined silhouettes.

Shop it: Online at Browns Focus.

7. Josh Goot: His sleek and monochromatic autumn/winter 2009 collection had London based Goot dubbed the new king of modernism, for his simple yet sophisticated use of black and white on shifts and neatly tailored suits.

Has an eye for: Colour blocking and clean lines.

Is inspired by: Human anatomy and abstract forms for spring/summer 2009.

Shop it: At Liberty.co.uk.

8. Mary Katrantzou: Since her fun graphic print collection for autumn/winter 2009, that featured dresses emblazoned with images of perfume bottles, we have not been able to shake the feeling that Katrantzou is going places. Having worked under fellow Greek, Sophia Kokosalaki and freelanced for Bill Blass, the young print designer also makes jewellery to complement her collections.

Has an eye for: Digital prints and bold, industrial jewellery.

Is inspired by: Antique perfume bottles and 18th century portraits for spring/summer 2010.

Shop it: At Browns Focus and Harvey Nichols.

9: Maria Francesca Pepe: With style insiders dipping into Pepe’s jewellery box for her hand-crafted Italian pieces to adorn their fashion pages – including Harper’s Bazaar – it is little wonder the designer already has a loyal following. You might have seen her designs embellishing the shows of Roksanda Illincic (S/S09 and A/W09), Emilio De La Morena (A/W09) and Louise Grey (A/W09), for which she designed a shoe collection.

Has an eye for: Chunky tubular necklaces made using old, handcrafted Italian techniques.

Is inspired by: Pieces that appeal to all tastes and ages.

Shop it: At Dover Street Market and the label’s own online store that launches this December.

When I hear the brand Burberry, I automatically think preppy wool peacoats and the typical black, red, beige and white check pattern. Well, stereotype no more! Thanks to the faces of Kate Moss and Agyness Deyn and the first-rate designs of Christopher Bailey, Burberry is on it’s way from prep to punk with its collection of British punk jewelry! Could this be a whole new aesthetic for Burberry…first their young and dynamic scent “The Beat,” which is amazing might I add, and now the studded, chained, meshed and plated jewelry? Fine by me!

Thanks Bleach Black!

Sir Paul Smith gets the Warhol Treatment. Better Choice: Marc Jacobs

Karl Gets Nix’d. Does Karl not have any other expression other than contempt?

Miuccia Prada is barely there.

Alber Elbaz, not wanting to appear fat, just draws himself in.

There are no fat superheros Alber, so the cape is so not working right now.

Christopher Bailey plays the perfect kid.

Donatella the Saint? I think this might be a joke, but hell their noses match perfectly.

Didn’t Kanye Already do this? Better. And Less Gay. Plus, Whose Body Is That?

Dustin Hoffman looks like the Uncle who touched you in your no no place when you were seven.
Wait you didn’t have an uncle like that? Haha, yeah, neither did I….

Why in the hell is a picture of a dude snapping his fingers iconic?

Giorgio Armani really doesn’t know, he also really doesn’t care.

Vivienne Westwood looks like a little old man. I wonder if that was the point?

Daddy Dolce: “Jimmy, did Uncle Gabbana stick his finger in your no no place?”

Uncle Gabbana: Sniff. Sniff. “Ahhhhhh…”
