On November 3, Burberry launched its festive campaign with a 3-minute film that features an all-star British cast of actors, musicians and models. The campaign pays tribute to Billy Elliot – an iconic BAFTA-winning British film which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year.
The film’s star-studded cast features Sir Elton John, James Corden, Julie Walters, Romeo Beckham, Naomi Campbell, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Michelle Dockery, James Bay, George Ezra and Toby Huntington-Whiteley. Directed by Christopher Bailey, Burberry’s Festive Film was shot at the Park Royal Studios in London.
Billy Elliot formed a legacy of charitable support for the local community of Easington, County Durham where the film is set. Following this, Burberry will be making a donation of £500,000 to be split between two charities, Place2Be and the County Durham Community Foundation, that run projects focusing on reducing barriers to education, training and employment in the local area.
To commemorate the unveiling of Burberry’s Festive Film, the full range of Burberry’s luxurious festive gifts have also been made available in stores globally and on Burberry.com. The range includes Burberry’s signature trench coat, the cashmere scarf, embellished gowns, the Baby Bucket Bag, and a new makeup look by Burberry Beauty.
