Michael B. Jordan, Yara Shahidi, and More Star in New Coach Campaign
Coach tapped photographer Juergen Teller and director Todd Tourso to bring its Fall 2019 campaign to life. The ads — shot in New York — star Michael B. Jordan, Yara Shahidi, Jemima Kirke, Kiko Mizuhara, Lolo Zouaï, Miles Heizer, and Liu Wen. “Juergen was my instinctive choice for Fall,” says Staurt Vevers, creative director of Coach. “He is able to create the warm, unpretentious and playful spirit I wanted. He is known for capturing the unique essence of his subjects, and is able to reveal the humanity and authentic personalities of our cast.”
The Stars of Skin Celebrate the Film in New York
Last night, Allusionist Picture House and The Cinema Society hosted a screening of A24’s Skin at The Roxy Cinema. The film’s cast, including stars Jamie Bell and Danielle Macdonald, were on hand to present the movie, which is based on the real life story of former white supremacist, Bryon Widner, and features a thoroughly unnerving, scene-stealing performance by Vera Farmiga. Seriously, she is amazing.
After the screening guests, including Richard E. Grant, AnnaSophia Robb, and Kathleen Turner, partied at Gitano Jungle Terraces.
