Sam Taylor Woods Shot And Directed The Margiela For H&M Print And TV Ads
Sam Taylor Wood shooting the Maison Martin Margiela for H&M campaign
When H&M confirmed that its next collaboration is with Maison Martin Margiela, like everyone else, I was surprised but the partnership is without doubt one of the ones I'm most excited about. Since the initial preview images were released not much has been said about the line, which is hardly surprising considering that Anna Dello Russo's accessories line has just dropped but that's quickly changing.
Today the high street retailer confirmed that Sam Taylor Wood has shot both the print and film campaigns for the collection. The British photographer and film director partnered up with creative director Markus Kiersztan and shot the campaign on the streets in Paris. Only one image has been released showing the model wearing a squarish oversized jacket; very Margiela.
The collection hits stores on November 15 with the print ads dropping later this month.

Inès de La Fressange In At Schiaparelli, Creative Director Announcement Imminent
After the buzz around the Met's 'Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations' exhibition died down, so did the initial excitment about the brand's revival not helped, of course, by the big appointments at Dior and Saint Laurent, but this week the brand was back in the headlines.
During the Paris shows former Chanel muse Inès de La Fressange let slip that the announcement of the new creative director is imminent but at the time, she kept quiet about how she was privy to that information but now we know why. Today WWD confirmed that she's been brought on board to help with the relaunch. What that means exactly is still unclear but what the brand's spokesperson has revealed is that the role will involve consulting, something she already does for brands like Roger Vivier. In doing so, she joins by French model and actress Farida Khelfa who was recently hired as its spokeswoman.
Are you excited about the big comeback?
