Directed by Academy Award-winner Asif Kapadia and starring Domhnall Gleeson, Sienna Miller, Dominic West and Lily James, Burberry presents a tale of Thomas Burberry. 

160 years in the making, this is a story inspired by the pioneering discoveries of the British label's founder, reimagining key events that have shaped Burberry's history.

"This Christmas, as we celebrate our 160th anniversary, we wanted to tell the story of Thomas Burberry – pioneer, inventor, innovator, and the man behind the iconic trench coat – in our own words," said Christopher Bailey, Burberry Chief Creative and Chief Executive Officer.

"The film we have made is a brief glimpse inspired by his full and extraordinary life, which threaded its way through the history of the twentieth century in all its tumultuous highs and lows."

Key moments in the short film include Thomas Burberry creating his water-resistant trench coat, which went on to become one of the brand’s signature pieces.
