The theme behind Carol Lim and Humberto Leon’s collection for the high-street brand is diversity.??We could have gone down the safe route in terms of models and fashion photographers, but we really wanted something different, as a way of talking about something that’s important to us and the house,? Carol Lim shared with Vogue.??The list of people in the campaign, it’s incredible – people who stand for more than just what meets the eye. So having these seven people who represent a span of things in their own lives to us feels really deep and meaningful,? Lim told us. ?That’s what the campaign is about.”
The lookbook features a key selection of looks from the designer collaboration and stars a diverse cast of talented, passionate and creative ambassadors, each of whom expresses their individuality and values with style.
