Justin Timberlake Stars in His First Louis Vuitton Campaign
The sartorial imagery showcases the forthcoming second drop from the brand’s Yayoi Kusama collaboration.
After delivering a slew of sartorial images taken by Steven Meisel in December, Louis Vuitton has tapped the renowned photographer for another carousel of portraits to show off the next installment in its collaboration with Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.
This go-around, Justin Timberlake makes his campaign debut for the French fashion house, carrying two monogram-embossed leather accessories showcasing Kusama’s signature pumpkin artwork. Alongside Timberlake (who the brand confirms is not an official ambassador but a “friend of the house”), the campaign features a star-studded cast, including actresses Hoyeong Jung, Léa Seydoux and Zhou Dongyu.
Under the creative jurisdiction of Ferdinando Verderi, makeup artist Pat McGrath decorated the faces and bodies of the aforementioned stars with kaleidoscopic designs that match the artworks emblazoned on their corresponding Capucines and Monogram handbags.
A vivid pumpkin patch appears on Timberlake’s arm, while floral designs sprawl across Blanchett’s jaw. Abstract faces encompass Seydoux’s eye and arm, and signature dots convene on Jung’s collarbone. Notably, Carine Roitfeld handled the shoot’s styling.
Louis Vuitton’s latest Yayoi Kusama campaign will appear on billboards this Wednesday, March 22. The second drop from the “Creating Infinity” collection will then become available in Louis Vuitton stores worldwide on March 31.
Take a look at the fresh campaign in the gallery above.
