Contemporary sportswear designer Jill Stuart has announced Lindsay Lohan will be the face of its print ad campaign, which will hit August magazines and run through November. The campaign marks the first time Jill Stuart has chosen a celebrity for her ads.
“I can’t say enough fantastic things about Lindsay,” Stuart said of her choice to go with the starlet rather than a model. “She is sexy and smart, exactly what the Jill Stuart woman embodies.”
The campaign, which was shot in Tokyo by Mario Sorrenti, highlights Lohan in a series of B&W photographs modeling the entire Jill Stuart assortment from the higher-end Jill Stuart line, the Jill by Jill Stuart collection and the handbags, which will launch in top department and specialty stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s and Nordstromnext month.
The ads showcase Lohan in a sensual state, where she’s in a bed, hugging the Emelle tote in black patent leather and wearing nothing much more than a sequin miniskirt.
“Lindsay resonates with the contemporary consumer on many levels,” said Tim Schifter, chairman and CEO of Schifter & Partners, the accessories firm that holds the license for Jill Stuart handbags and small leather goods. “Mario’s photographs capture Lindsay’s sensual beauty and Jill’s modern fashion, and his choice of black and white adds glamour and intrigue to the images.”
