RAG & BONE SPRING/SUMMER 2014 CAMPAIGN


SPRING/SUMMER 2014, FEATURING STACY MARTIN AND EMILE HIRSCH

For  their  women’s  and  men’s  Spring/Summer  2014  campaigns,  rag  &  bone  cast  French-born acting newcomer Stacy Martin and American actor Emile Hirsch.

Both campaigns were shot in and around downtown L.A. by world renowned photographer Glen Luchford using 35mm and 16mm film.

“We  cast  Stacy  and  Emile  as  we  view  them  as  interesting  characters.  Both  are  fearless  when  it  comes  to  their  craft   which  we  find  cool,”  – David Neville, rag & bone

“We  wanted to shoot Stacy and Emile in a real way and loved the idea of motels as they represent the other, less shiny side of L.A.”  – adds Marcus Wainwright, rag & bone

Martin,  whose  breakout  role  is  in  Lars  von  Trier’s Nymphomaniac, reveals the campaign appealed to her as the premise  entailed  “capturing  moments,  rather  than  a  perfect  picture.”

The brunette London-based  beauty  added  the  motel  locale  made  her  feel  “as  if  David  Lynch  characters  were  going   to  come  join  us.”

California native Hirsch, who can currently be seen in the acclaimed Lone Survivor and will next take on the role of John  Belushi  in  the  upcoming  biopic,  said  of  fronting  the  campaign:  “rag  &  bone  is  a  cool  brand  that  is   sophisticated  yet  still  hip  at  the  same  time.”

The star added he particularly enjoyed  skateboarding  in  the  empty  pool.  “I  liked  the  motel,  it  was  run  down  but   also  classic  and  nostalgic.”

Musing  further  on  the  location  of  the  campaign,  Hirsch  offers;  “Los  Angeles  to  me  is  the  city  of  dreams,  a  roller   coaster with equal highs and lows  down  the  tracks.  I  happily  call  it  home.”

Additionally, Luchford shot two films of the talent.

Advertisements will run in select international editions of Vogue and GQ, as well as issues of Vanity Fair, AnOther, Self Service, Gentlewoman, The Travel Almanac and Purple.

Both  campaigns  have  been  creatively  directed  by  Jefferson  Hack’s  London-based agency MAD with art direction from Sara Hemming at DJA.
