Burberry has released a seasonal promotional film for 2025 titled 'Twas the Knight Before... and featuring a narrative centered on host Jennifer Saunders preparing for and welcoming a group of notable guests to a festive gathering. The assembled cast, which includes Naomi Campbell, Ncuti Gatwa, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Son Heung-min, is depicted interacting in a convivial atmosphere that includes moments of spontaneous celebration.
Burberry's 'Twas the Knight Before... production serves to showcase a range of the brand's products, with a particular focus on updated versions of its classic coat and jacket silhouettes, as well as elevated accessories — from handbags like the Bloomsbury tote and leather goods such as the Highlands backpack to cashmere scarves, children's clothing, and the brand's signature fragrances.
