1. Gucci

Set to the incredibly catchy synth-pop music of Yazoo's Only You, Gucci's holiday campaign pays homage to the office Christmas party, albeit a very stylish version. Produced by Alessandro Michele and directed by Akinola Davies Jr, the retro video features some of Gucci's most coveted items of the season including the GG Marmont bags, Tennis 1977 sneakers as well as the wooly GG Jacquard scarves and hats.

2. Burberry

Dressed head to toe in the British heritage label’s latest collection and set against the streets of London, the Burberry 2020 festive campaign keeps the magic alive by bringing together different creative spheres—fashion, sport and music. Inspired by the classic musical Singin' in the Rain, the film was conceived by Burberry chief creative officer Riccardo Tisci together with Megaforce and Riff Raff Films, and shows five young dancers dancing their way through the streets while dodging killer ice blocks. 

This year's campaign also celebrates the partnership between Burberry and Manchester United footballer, Marcus Rashford, to support the next generation to pursue their passion and dream.

Fashion-wise, the spotlight is on the Beat Shoulder inspired by the attitude of downtown New York, and the new Hitch backpack and belt bag for men.

“For this holiday season it made sense to focus on the traditions of the time; a tradition of gathering with loved ones, of taking time to reflect and enjoy, and of exchanging tokens of respect, love, and affection," says creative director Paul Andrew.
