Lancôme Announces New Ambassador: Oscar Winner Lupita Nyong’o

Lancôme Announces New Ambassador: Lupita Nyong’o,  Academy Award winner for “Best Supporting Actress” for her role as Patsy in the highly acclaimed film “12 Years a Slave”.  It’s  great to see the shift in Lancôme business model for only catering to lighter skin tones. Lancôme has now had Jasmine TookeArlenis Sosa back in 2008 and now we have Lupita Nyong’o.

“I am truly honored to join the Maison Lancôme, a brand with such a prestigious history and that I have always loved. I am particularly proud to represent its unique vision for women and the idea that beauty should not be dictated, but should instead be an expression of a woman’s freedom to be herself,” said Lupita Nyong’o about being Lancôme’s new brand ambassador.

The campaign will be seen this summer and will be shot by photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

Philipp Plein Spring/Summer 2014 Campaign

Spring/Summer 2014 campaign,Philipp Plein worked with Italian photographer Francesco Carrozzini for the shoot. Philipp Plein used all black models to pose for his campaign dressed in his black and white urban collection. Philipp also used all black models for his Spring Runway show as well. Alek Wek opened the show, while Liya Kebede closed it. Sadly many asked why he chose to do this. This is is how he answered.

“My message is about breaking down barriers and breaking the rules. Doing the unexpected and shaking people from their complacence, forcing people to face the future where old prejudices have no place. For example, the public expects to see pallid girls in high heels walking my show and I give them a fleet of black beauties in flats!
