KATE MOSS, THE NEW FACE OF THE VOGUE EYEWEAR ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN VOGUE EYEWEAR ANNOUNCES THE CHOICE OF KATE MOSS AS SPOKESPERSON FOR ITS SPRING/SUMMER 2011 ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN Milan, November 2010 – After Gisele Bündchen and Daria Werbowy, Vogue Eyerwear has chosen another fashion-world icon, emblem of contemporary style and inspiration of designers and international photographers. In previous months, the message had been drummed incessantly across all blogs and major fashion websites. The teaming up of Vogue Eyewear and the top model is a result of the agreement between the Italian brand, manufacturer of quality products with an appealing design and glamour look, and one of the last century’s ambassadors of contemporary style, Kate Moss. Outstanding photographer of Vogue Eyewear’s spring-summer 2011 advertising campaign is Mario Testino, a long-time friend of Kate Moss, who for the occasion immortalized her in late September in what is an extremely suggestive location and set of numerous period-costume films, Syon House in Brentford, only a few kilometres from London. “ I am pleased to be the new face of the Vogue Eyewear advertising campaign and to work again with my friend, Mario Testino. Vogue Eyewear is always in step with the latest trends ”, confided Kate on the film set while she was choosing the models to be part of Kate’s selects : the selection of six sunglasses and eyeglasses models and colours chosen by the model. A mini collection with a strong and glamorous heart, just like Kate Moss. Sophisticated style, soft and round lines, frames in two-colour acetate, both gradient and solid colour, Kate Moss chooses the six iconic models of the Vogue Eyewear collection in a colour range that stretches from wisteria to poppy, topaz and dark blue, without forgetting timeless black and tortoiseshell. The advertising campaign shots will premiere starting in late-January 2011 on the website vogue-eyewear.com, the homepage and contents of which will be restyled for the occasion, and, from spring 2011, in major international fashion monthlies and weeklies. Daniela Policastro, Vogue Eyewear Brand Manager, stated “ We are excited about having Kate Moss as spokesperson for the new Vogue Eyewear advertising campaign and about working once again with Mario Testino. Vogue Eyewear once more confirms itself the mirror of new trends and at the same time knows how to show off the individual style of every woman ”.
