With an all-star cast and an Oscar-winning director (Asif Kapadia), The Tale of Thomas Burberry is a trailer for a movie that doesn’t exist. In short scenes we see episodes from Burberry’s life, as he invents the protective rainwear that makes him famous, supplies Shackleton’s expedition to the Antarctic, and designs the first “trench coat” for soldiers. There’s romance too as Thomas finds love and marries but is distracted by glamorous aviatrix Betty Dawson. It all wraps up into the perfect Christmas present for fashion fans.
