Selena Gomez returns for her third campaign for Coach
Coach has announced the launch of its global advertising campaign for the Autumn 2018 collection with a series of images featuring the Coach gang draped over moss-green vintage cars in New York City’s back streets. Local street art adorns the exposed brick walls, as well as murals picturing the prairie fields and deserts of the Mid-West linking to the soft hues found in the collection.
The gang have an eclectic style, layering vintage wallpaper prints and prairie lace dresses with fringed soft leather biker jackets and teddy-bear style shearling coats. This romanticism and nostalgia is, as always, counterbalanced with a nod to the brand‘s home city of New York – this time with a darker gothic and mystical twist.
American heritage sportswear makes a stronger appearance this season, with cross body bags, rucksacks and Signature print bomber and varsity jackets for both guys and girls. Taking its cue from 90’s streetwear that the brand’s Creative Director, Stuart Vevers, sees on the streets of New York City today, it is a contemporary way of dressing that has arrived in the world of Coach.
Accessories as always are central to the collection and campaign. Bonnie Cashin archive iconic styles have been brought back in the shape of leather coats, to sit alongside the Signature print pieces that are so prominent in the collection.
Showcasing the brand’s heritage in a modern way, Vevers has also worked with artist Chelsea Champlain and her painterly mystic roses, moths and floral skulls on soft leather Dreamer bags.
Actress and singer Selena Gomez returns in her third campaign as the face of the brand. The series of images captures Gomez in the Autumn 2018 collection resting on a vintage car. Set on a quintessential New York City street, the images highlight the season’s new bags, with Gomez carrying the Dreamer bag, a new silhouette featuring the Signature print, embroidery and leather detailing.
This season, the brand’s family includes brand ambassadors Japanese actress and model Kiko Mizuhara, Chinese actress Guan Xiaotong, and Chinese actor Timmy Xu. This global casting nods to New York City’s melting pot of citizens and their unique way of dressing each day, which is so key to Vevers’ vision for the brand.
This season’s cast also features models Ali Latif, Blesnya Minher, Joaquim Arnell, Lily Nova, Nina Gulien, Remington Williams and William Grant. Pictured in the campaigns soft back-light and patchwork collaged images, this together reflects the layering of the clothes and how the Coach gang dresses today.
“I love the way that we have pushed the Coach gang further this season to be more unique, diverse and just overall cool in their attitude. It is how I see people here in New York enjoying wearing clothes and just feels really relevant to me,” said Vevers.
For this season’s campaign, the brand worked with longtime collaborators, including photographer Steven Meisel, creative director Fabien Baron, makeup artist Pat McGrath and hairstylist Guido Palau.
