Burberry has gathered together a cast of models, actors and musicians for its British Christmas ad campaign – with young Romeo Beckham back for another year.
Thirteen year old Romeo Beckham led the star studded line-up which included Downton’s Michelle Dockery, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Comedian James Corden, Naomi Campbell, Julie Walters, Sir Elton John, Musician James Bay, George Ezra and Toby Huntington-Whiteley.
The luxury brand’s quintessentially British Christmas campaign pays tribute to the hit film and musical, Billy Elliot, including a 3 minute film and stills campaign. The film celebrates the 15th anniversary of Billy Elliot with its all British cast – who all recreate the Jamie Bell iconic jumping sequence – all dressed in Burberry’s Christmas fashion offering of course.
The new campaign will premiere today, 3rd November, at the Burberry global flagship store on Regent Street in London; during an event hosted by Burberry Chief Creative Christopher Bailey with Sir Elton John.
Burberry’s CEO Christopher Bailey, said: “Billy Elliot is an incredible film full of so much joy and energy, so it was a real thrill and a great honor to be able to celebrate its 15 year anniversary through our Festive campaign. It was also a huge privilege to work with such amazing and iconic British talent—the cast are quite simply some of the biggest names in film, music and fashion and it was so much fun working with them all to make this special film.“
