Coming off an unprecedented year of upheaval and disruption, it’s important for the brand to reflect and remind our audiences that new awakenings and discoveries can still be had, albeit from within, as long as we embrace the spirit of exploration and adventure,” BBH China CCO Kelly Pon said in a statement published by LBB. “And this is a message that only Burberry, a brand steeped in a history of designing and providing clothing for fearless explorers can tell. The film is inspired by the question that sets many explorers off on their journey – ‘what is the world outside like?'”
