Model Rosie Huntington‑Whiteley wrapped up a sun‑kissed summer in Mallorca and Malta, but the real highlight of her season was a front‑row seat at Burberry’s spring 2027 show during London Fashion Week.
From Sun to Books: A Summer of Reading
While her Instagram feed showcased beach days and luxury travel, Huntington‑Whiteley quietly dove into a reading marathon. She said she had “gotten back into reading this summer after being quite terrible about it for years” and finished more than 15 books, including The Names, The Safekeep, God of the Woods and her current read, Lost Lambs. The model also shared that she’s revisiting the Harry Potter series with her son Jack, reliving the stories through his eyes.
Growing up in rural England, her father took her to the local bookshop every weekend, making books a central part of her childhood. The return to reading, she notes, feels like a personal renaissance that complements her busy professional life.
Launching Mémoire: A New Entrepreneurial Chapter
Huntington‑Whiteley’s business ambitions reached a milestone this spring with the launch of Mémoire, a brand focused on small personal accessories such as candles, stationery, notebooks and keepsake boxes. “Mémoire is very personal to me because it brings together so many things I’ve always been drawn to—beautiful objects, interiors, fragrance, craftsmanship, and the idea of creating things that become part of the rituals and memories of your life,” she explained.
The model highlighted how her customers now view Mémoire not as a single product but as a lifestyle that can be integrated into everyday rituals. “The journals, the frames, the candles—they’re objects you live with, gift, keep and hopefully become emotionally attached to over time,” she added. She described building the brand from the ground up as “one of the most creatively satisfying things I’ve done.”
Back to Her Roots: Burberry and Daniel Lee
Huntington‑Whiteley’s front‑row experience at Burberry was more than a fashion statement; it was a personal journey. She recalled that the trench coat was her earliest association with the brand, describing it as “grown‑up and very British.” As a model, she gained a deeper appreciation for Burberry’s heritage and global influence, turning a childhood familiarity into a professional relationship.
She also praised the current designer, fellow Brit Daniel Lee, noting his instinct and energy. “He has this wonderful ability to look at British culture through a very personal lens—humour, nostalgia, subculture, history, all of these references colliding,” Huntington‑Whiteley said. She emphasized Lee’s enthusiasm and genuine obsession with his craft, qualities that resonate with her own approach to fashion and entrepreneurship.
Why Autumn Is Her True Season
Despite a summer filled with travel and new ventures, Huntington‑Whiteley admitted she is an “autumn girl.” She loves the first chill in the air, the opportunity to wear coats, boots, knitwear and leather jackets, and the comfort of home fires and long Sunday lunches. “I’m much more comfortable dressing for autumn and winter than I am for high summer,” she remarked.
She looks forward to a slower rhythm in the colder months, spending more time with family and enjoying the “hibernation mode” that autumn brings. The model’s love for Burberry’s trench coat and other classic pieces fits perfectly with her seasonal preferences, allowing her to stay stylish while staying warm.
Behind the scenes, Huntington‑Whiteley shared photos of her day with Burberry, from getting ready to the front‑row experience and beyond, offering fans an intimate look at the model’s fashion week routine.
What’s Next for Rosie Huntington‑Whiteley?
With Mémoire gaining traction, a growing portfolio of fashion shows, and a renewed passion for reading, Huntington‑Whiteley appears poised for continued success. She remains open to future collaborations with designers who share her love for British culture and craftsmanship. For now, she plans to enjoy the quieter, family‑centric months of autumn while keeping an eye on the next big runway moment.
