Lanvin
Bouchra Jarrar has unveiled her first campaign as creative director of Lanvin. The Moroccan-French designer, who took over the helm of the French fashion house after Alber Elbaz unexpectedly stepped down, chose Stella Tennant to star in the Spring 2017 ad. “It was a natural choice to turn to Stella Tennant,” says Jarrar. “Her aura, her beauty and the quiet strength she projects fit with my new image of the Lanvin woman.” The vintage-looking campaign photos were lensed by Paolo Roversi, who has been shooting for the brand since the ‘90s.
Nike
FKA twigs was tapped as the new creative director of Nike’s Spring Zonal strength tights campaign. The advertorial, which launched on Wednesday, is a two minute video titled Do You Believe in More? that was directed by the British singer. The former face of Calvin Klein Jeans also appears in the ads alongside Olympic fencer Miles Chamley-Watson and dancer Saskia Horton. “When Nike reached out to me about collaborating on this project, I saw it as an opportunity to inspire people who want to use their bodies in a positive way,” FKA twigs told American Vogue.
Dolce & Gabbana
Dolce & Gabbana turned to up-and-coming millennials—including “It Girl” Zendaya, Tunisian model Sonia Ben Ammar, and 15-year-old French actress Thylane Blondeau—for its Spring 2017 women’s ad, shot by Franco Pagetti in Capri last October. The brand also shot a men’s advertising campaign, which featured Cindy Crawford’s photogenic son Presley Gerber and social media star Cameron Dallas wearing crisp, tailored suits.
Miu Miu
For its Spring 2017 campaign, the luxury Italian brand headed to the beach. The campaign, which was photographed by Alasdair McLellan, features rising stars Sonia Ben Ammar, Ellen Rosa, and Elle Fanning, sporting retro-inspired bathing suits and floral bathing caps that first appeared on the Miu Miu runways in October. The advertorial also features model veterans Carolyn Murphy and Lara Stone.

The Emporio Armani Spring 2017 ad was shot in Rome by Lachlan Bailey. The cobbled streets and historic architecture serve as an eye-catching backdrop for the models.

Balmain
For the Balmain Spring 2017 campaign, Instagirls #TheBalmainArmy are noticeably absent. Instead, Olivier Rousteing tapped veterans Natasha Poly and Doutzen Kroes to star in the photos, which were taken by Steven Klein.

In it, she wears a fuchsia top and a red, patent leather skirt plucked from Bottega Veneta’s spring collection.

Max Mara’s Spring 2017 accessories campaign star is none other than Gigi Hadid.
