With an all-star cast of British actors, musicians and models including Sir Elton John, Julie Walters, James Corden, Romeo Beckham, Naomi Campbell, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Michelle Dockery, James Bay, George Ezra and Toby Huntington-Whiteley, the campaign centres around the “Burberry Festive Film”, a tribute to Billy Elliott.

The Burberry film is based on the much-loved opening sequence of the iconic British film and features original footage as well as the original soundtrack, “Cosmic Dancer” by T Rex. It is running across all of the brand’s platforms, including Burberry.com, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Sina Weibo until the end of the year.

Testino shoots stills campaign

A separate stills campaign shot by Mario Testino and featuring Romeo Beckham, Naomi Campbell, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and James Bay, will run across print and digital titles this festive season.

The new campaign coincides with the launch of a full range of Burberry festive gifts in store and on Burberry.com, including a new Burberry Beauty make-up look created by Burberry Make-up artistic consultant Wendy Rowe.

Charitable donation

The original production of Billy Elliot established a legacy of charitable support for the local community of Easington, County Durham, where the film is set. Inspired by this, and to recognise each artist’s participation in its campaign, Burberry is making a donation of £500,000 to be split between two charities, Place2Be and the County Durham Community Foundation.
