MICHAEL KORS FALL 2012 AD CAMPAIGN

Michael Kors is having a Tinseltown moment. The designer’s fall 2012 advertising campaign fuses together two of his most cherished themes: jetset style and Hollywood glamour. Photographed by Mario Testino at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, the captivating images draw inspiration from the backlots of golden-age Hollywood. Models Karmen Pedaru and Simon Nessman, appearing in their fifth campaign, are pictured together on a sound stage like a latter-day version of ‘30s icons Carole Lombard and Clark Gable. “I love Karmen and Simon because they are both super-glamorous and approachable at once,” says Kors. “They’re youthful and sophisticated at the same time, which makes them so very Michael Kors.”
