The Best Fashion Ad Campaigns of Fall 2018: Nicole Benisti
Canadian high-fashion outerwear designer Nicole Benisti has tapped Elsa Hosk for its fall campaign, that breaks Oct. 11. The 29-year-old Swedish model is a Victoria’s Secret Angel and has modeled for such brands as Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Free People, Ungaro, H&M, Anna Sui, Lilly Pulitzer and Guess. The IMG model started modeling for Victoria’s Secret in 2011 and became a Victoria’s Secret Angel in April 2015. The inspiration behind the campaign is a night out with Hosk. The campaign is designed to showcase looks that merge fashion with cold-weather function. The images show the way Benisti would love her jackets to be worn. In the winter, women often have to choose between function and style, but with this collection, Benisti believes the jackets can have function but one can still look stylish. “Her beauty, while captivating, is also inviting, she personifies the way the jackets are meant to be worn,” said Benisti, about casting Hosk. The ads were photographed by Max Abadian and styled by Maher Jridi. They will appear on the company’s web site.
