    Maria Grazia Chiuri, artistic director of women’s collections at Dior, paid tribute to her roots for the label’s resort 2021 ad campaign, set against the wild landscapes of Puglia, where her family is originally from, and the city of Lecce, the site of her cruise show — staged without a live audience in July. Lensed by Lean Lui, the campaign shows models Selena Forrest, Maryel Uchida, Maty Fall, Sora Choi and Chai Maximus in a pre-Raphaelite setting, bathed in dappled light or seen through clouds of dust. The images, due to break Oct. 2, were art directed by Fabien Baron and styled by Elin Svahn, with hair by Guido Palau and makeup by Peter Philips. — Alex Wynne

    As the Gucci fashion lexicon evolves breaking free from seasonality, in tune with creative director Alessandro Michele’s decision to whittle down the brand’s shows from five to two, the “Epilogue,” or resort digital ad campaign conjures a timeless vibe. Images are fronted by British actress Vanessa Kirby, who rose to international fame starring in the Netflix hit series “The Crown.” It’s no coincidence that Kirby’s stroll in the park captured by photographer Angelo Pennetta is set against a mist-filled landscape that evokes London’s Hyde Park in winter. Kirby is joined by singer-songwriter Celeste Epiphany Waite and fashion icon and designer Alexa Chung clad in ready-to-wear pieces and accessories from the “Epilogue” collection presented last July. – Martino Carrera
