FARFETCH Limited, the global destination for modern luxury, presents its new SS23 global brand campaign…
The campaign stars actress Marcia Cross, renowned for her iconic role as Bree Van de Kamp in Desperate Housewives and model Younes Bendjima. Marcia completes the trilogy around pop culture icons who have featured in previous FARFETCH brand campaigns which have starred actresses Kim Cattrall and Leighton Meester. The new campaign celebrates iconic luxury pieces in your wardrobe and the idea that you only need to dress for yourself – not anyone else. In one scene, Marcia is seen getting dressed up for herself and dancing contentedly alone in a gorgeous red Ferragamo dress. Marcia is also seen dressed in a beautiful statement Dolce & Gabbana leopard print coat stating, “I’m so tired of everybody else’s opinions, I can make my own choices” with Younes seen shot fully clothed wearing a black sleeveless blazer by JIL SANDER, commenting, “What can you lose, when you’re doing you?”
Yannis Henrion, Creative Director, FARFETCH, said: “We are so excited to bring this unlikely pair of style icons together for this new campaign: Marcia is celebrated as an icon for her confidence and fierce style – admired by both fans who watched Desperate Housewives when it first came out and those who who are (re)discovering Desperate Housewives and Melrose Place via TikTok. We wanted to give Marcia the opportunity to show what her own style looks like since she is just as iconic and fierce in real life as in her best on-screen roles.
Younes has such a quiet aura to himself, a kind soul with impeccable style. It’s brilliant to be able to portray both sides of the spectrum; showing two great personalities who love to express themselves with their style and make up their own aesthetic”.
The SS23 campaign narrative will be extended globally by the FARFETCH community across social media including TikTok and Instagram with creators who will create content inspired by the campaign, with sound being a key recognisable emotive ingredient across all content.
