Domhnall Gleeson has locked lips with Sienna Miller for Burberry’s stunning new Christmas ad.
Today, Burberry CEO and designer Christopher Bailey debuted The Tale of Thomas Burberry, a holiday film directed by Asif Kapadia, which stars Domhnall Gleeson (Thomas Burberry), his love-interest Sienna Miller, as well as Lily James, and Dominic West.
Coinciding with the brand’s 160th anniversary, the film revisits milestones in Burberry’s life, from inventing weatherproof gabardine (the stuff on your Burberry trench) to outfitting the British military.
“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,” Christopher said of the film, according to Vogue.com.
“His spirit and his vision are still at the heart of everything we do at Burberry today.”
Meanwhile, speaking about working with the brand, Domhnall said, “Christopher is obviously an incredibly gifted designer, but he’s also a really good man, and I love that.
“To work with him and his team and Asif and the amazing crew and cast was an honor because I got to be a part of something really creative and exciting with a team of people who are each at the top of their field. Coming together to bring the story to life was a brilliant experience, and also somehow managed to be very fun.”
