""My grandmother was a seamstress, so I was always around fashion," he explains. "My uncles would always bring back fashion magazines and as a kid, I would be looking at them like, 'Wow, this is so cool. I can do that.'" The 54-year-old model and actor continues: I guess I soaked up all those poses and some of those inspirations."
"Now, Beckford is the one providing inspiration for the next generation. His role in Burberry's latest campaign, It's Always Burberry Weather: Postcards From London, showcases his natural modeling aptitude and even dips into his acting arsenal. The campaign features four short films directed by John Madden, starring Olivia Colman alongside Beckford and other international supermodels. Each film celebrates just a few of the many characters you'll encounter in London, says Burberry's chief creative officer Daniel Lee."
