Burberry’s 2026 holiday campaign, “Wrapped in Burberry: Celebrating 170 Years,” ends exactly where a good night should: under an oversized disco ball. Directed by Harmony Korine and set at Longleat House in Wiltshire, it stars Pierce Brosnan and Fiona Shaw as hosts of a Christmas gathering (Burberry). The same week, Italian jeweler Damiani launched “Winter Whites,” an evening-of-celebration campaign starring supermodel Mariacarla Boscono and Stray Kids’ I.N (Damiani).

Who is at Burberry’s 170th party?

Brosnan and Shaw welcome guests from film, fashion and sport: Cara Delevingne, Dylan Brosnan, Dwyane Wade, Gabrielle Union, Kim Min-ha, Nico Parker and Wu Lei (Burberry). Emma Thynn, Marchioness of Bath, makes a cameo (Variety).

The film moves through country walks, party games, gift exchanges and golf buggy races before the disco finale, set to Sylvester and Patrick Cowley’s 1982 track “Do You Wanna Funk?” Brosnan takes the dance floor, and Shaw ends the night on the sofa (Variety). Chief creative officer Daniel Lee put it simply: “We wanted to celebrate 170 years of Burberry with a proper party. Family, friends, great gifts and everyone dressed up” (Burberry).

What is Burberry actually selling for the holidays?

Cashmere. The house says the lightweight, brushed-cashmere Kensington trench comes in ivory white, black, navy, camel and bouquet pink, the Scottish-made House Check scarf comes in more than 40 colors including a new Blackwatch Check, and Burberry is collaborating with Smythson for the first time on leather notebooks and folding chess and backgammon sets (Burberry).

What is Damiani’s “Winter Whites”?

Creative direction is by Christopher Simmonds and photography by Larissa Hofmann. Boscono and I.N are portrayed at an evening celebration inside a historic palazzo dressed in pale winter florals that evoke frost and snowfall, wearing pieces from the Mimosa, Margherita, Belle Époque and Belle Époque Reel collections plus High Jewelry. Damiani describes the idea as “a spirit of celebration expressed through occasion rather than decoration” (Damiani).

The Nightlife Report take

This season’s holiday campaigns keep landing on the same scene: the party itself. Burberry ends on a dance floor, Damiani sets its jewels at an evening in a palazzo, and Dior went animated for its holiday film, which we covered in Dior’s Night in Color. The lesson for anyone dressing for December is the one Lee spelled out: everyone dressed up. A great coat and one piece of jewelry that catches the light will carry you from dinner to the disco.
