Like a Movie Trailer: Burberry Unveils its 2016 Christmas Campaign Film | BURBERRY
BURBERRY
A Stunning 3 Minutes and 35 Seconds Featuring the Founder
BURBERRY has unveiled its 2016 Christmas campaign film. This year, marking the brand's 160th anniversary, the film is titled "The Tales of Thomas Burberry" and features its founder. The cinematic world, reminiscent of a movie trailer, is breathtaking.

Star-Studded Cast and Director
The campaign film dramatically depicts the story of how Thomas Burberry invented "Gabardine," a highly water-repellent material, in the late 19th century. The scenes tracing the history of providing clothing and equipment to British officers, Antarctic explorers, and pilots are truly spectacular. It powerfully reaffirms that the durable functionality, still used in British-made trench coats today, was achieved through Mr. Burberry's indomitable spirit.
Many scenes were filmed at Sherborne Castle in Oxfordshire, England.
The screenplay was written by Matt Charman, known for the film "Bridge of Spies," and the direction was handled by Asif Kapadia, who directed "Amy." The cast includes currently sought-after talents such as Domhnall Gleeson and Dominic West as actors, and Sienna Miller and Lily James as actresses.
As November arrives and the air grows noticeably cooler, we highly recommend experiencing this masterpiece, crafted with the brand's full dedication, which will undoubtedly enhance the seasonal mood.
