This Burberry commercial featuring Romeo Beckham is here just in time for the holidays. The son of soccer star David Beckham and former Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham, Romeo is seen dancing in a Singing in the Rain themed ad. This is not the first time the child has appeared in a Burberry ad, having starred in a print campaign for the high-end British brand two years ago.
In this Burberry commercial, Romeo is seen showing off some extremely impressive hip hop moves. The iconically British design label showcases their trademark trench and plaid scarves. There is no shortage of choreographed dance moves, often incorporating umbrellas as props in addition to chairs and perfectly in-sync lines.
As Jeff Beer from Fast Company's CoCreate puts it, the ad is more than "your typically ambitious, artsy, four-minute nod to the surreal world of fashion."
