Just last month, we reported on rumours that Lana Del Rey had been tapped as the newest face for H&M, and already the Swedish retail giant has both confirmed the rumours and released images of the retro-inspired campaign.
Del Rey’s self-described “ghetto Nancy Sinatra” style is at its best in the ads, which feature the chanteuse in a powder pink angora sweater, peach skinnies, art deco drop earrings and her signature combo of a Barabella bouffant and ‘60s-esque makeup.
“The mood is very L.A. noir,” Donald Schneider, H&M’s creative director, told WWD. “It’s inspired by our fall collection.”
The theme of the campaign is “a modern and feminine woman with a soft attitude,” said Chloe Bowers, H&M’s PR Manager, to Grazia Daily, adding that the collection focuses on curves, knitwear, tweed and powder tones.
On top of the Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin–snapped campaign, a minifilm of Del Rey performing the Roy Orbison classic “Blue Velvet” will be released on hm.com on September 19 to celebrate the new collection, with edited versions running as TV ads afterwards. The singer-turned-fashion-It-girl will appear in front of the lens for the retailer’s winter campaigns as well.
