NOLAN FUNK FOR VERSACE MENS SS14
Canadian born actor Nolan Funk is the face of Versace’s menswear advertising campaign for spring/summer 2014. The campaign photographed in London by iconic duo Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, features Nolan as the embodiment of the Versace Man: provocative, rebellious, sharp and loud.
The black and white images are shot against a plain background to focus attention on Nolan’s athletic movement and energy. In each shot he wears iconic Versace pieces refreshed for the 21st century: the slick tailored suit; the graphic print; the Greek key motif brief; and the rock’n roll leather jacket and pants.
“I love our new Versace menswear campaign starring Nolan Funk. He brings these iconic Versace pieces to life with his energy and spirit. The campaign is full of the essence of Versace, now and forever.” Donatella Versace
FASHION: LADY GAGA FOR VERSACE SPRING/SUMMER 2014
I’m sure most of you will have seen at least one of these pics of Lady Gaga for Versace floating around on your social media accounts this past weekend. The Italian fashion house have confirmed that Lady Gaga is the face of its Spring/Summer 2014 campaign, the first time that Lady Gaga has starred in any fashion advertising. Lady Gaga appears in a series of images shot in London by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, wearing pieces from the spring/summer 2014 ready-to-wear and accessories collections,including the new Palazzo bag, introduced at the Spring/Summer 2014 show.
In the images, Lady Gaga looks FIERCE ,reclining on luxurious furniture, with her long Versace platinum blonde locks. The campaign marks the latest stage of a continuing friendship between Donatella Versace and the artist. It began with Lady Gaga wearing archive Versace pieces in her video for Edge of Glory, with most recently Lady Gaga titling a track on her new Artpop album Donatella.
“I am honoured that my friend Lady Gaga is the face of our new Versace campaign. I wanted to capture her true beauty and spirit in images that are elegant and alluring. She is like family to me, the embodiment of the Versace DNA.” DV
VERSACE AUTUMN/WINTER 2012 CAMPAIGN
The Versace Autumn Winter 2012 ad campaign is loose and the darkness of it all has me spiraling! Shot by impeccable duo Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, with art direction from Giovanni Bianco, and styling from Joe McKenna and David Bradshaw. The campaign features models Elza Luijendijk, Philipp Schmidt, Dmitriy Tanner & Kaccey Carrig on location in London in what looks like a dark and dingy warehouse! Why is it that I want everything the guys are wearing?! I won’t say no to that low back dress either!!!
Dontella Versace – “I’m really thrilled with our new campaign. The result is bold, strong, iconic and perfectly conveys the sexy rock vibe of our Fall/Winter collection”
