Anne Klein Kicks Off Milestone Year With New Fashion Campaign Featuring Supermodel Candice Swanepoel
2023 serves as a milestone year for iconic American fashion brand Anne Klein as it celebrates 55 years of style, impact and the legacy of its namesake founder. To kick-off the year, Anne Klein has tapped South African supermodel, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Candice Swanepoel to appear in a new Spring/Summer 2023 fashion campaign. Swanepoel will also serve as an impact partner supporting Anne Klein’s cause related initiative for Q1 2023.
In addition to marking 55 years in business, the American heritage brand will celebrate what would have been Anne Klein’s 100th birthday (August 3) as well as the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Versailles (November 28) where top American designers, including Anne as the sole woman, upstaged their French contemporaries at the legendary Versailles fashion show to shift the balance of fashion influence to New York.
Anne Klein, who founded her eponymous brand in 1968, is regarded as a trailblazing designer that forever changed the way women dress. She is credited with originating the concept of a fully coordinated closet and providing a uniquely American point of view to the global fashion industry. She also inspired and championed women’s ability to make positive change, famously declaring: “Clothes won’t change the world. The women who wear them will.”
Like Klein, Candice Swanepoel is founder and designer of a purpose-driven brand, Tropic of C, and actively supports women’s empowerment and philanthropic causes. Swanepoel is the latest in a series of Brand Ambassadors who embody the Anne Klein brand mission, which is equal parts image and impact, including: Frontline Worker and Model Maggie Rawlins; Actor and Humanitarian Ilfenesh Hadera; Supermodel and Activist Joan Smalls and Award-Winning Actress and Philanthropist Gina Rodriquez. Swanepoel will join Anne Klein for a charitable initiative to be announced soon.
“I’m honored to have partnered with Anne Klein, a brand whose values align with my own,” said Swanepoel. “Anne Klein has a long and respected history within the fashion industry and I’m proud to support their mission of empowering and championing women.”
The Anne Klein Spring/Summer ‘23 campaign was shot by Australian photographer Chris Colls at Pier 59 Studios in New York City. The approach to photographing Swanepoel was raw and unfiltered, focusing on organic movements and relaxed styling to bring a more intimate and approachable feel. Like the campaign aesthetic, the new collection, has a relaxed, personal, tonality that focuses on this season’s neutral shades with pops of bright coloring and the simple, yet modern separates the Anne Klein brand is known for. A new denim collection also debuts.

THE NEW LANCÔME GLOBAL AMBASSADOR:
EMMA CHAMBERLAIN
Lancôme is thrilled to announce the appointment of the new face of the brand, the American Gen Zer, fashion icon, entrepreneur and girl of the 21st century, Emma Chamberlain.
Leading The ‘Be Yourself’ Movement
With her engaging personality and relaxed demeanor, Chamberlain became a global sensation by establishing herself as one of the most popular fashion icons, and effortlessly cool content creator. Shortly after launching her YouTube channel at the age of 16, Emma broke into social media stardom at a very fast pace. The success of her social content gaining traction came from Chamberlain demonstrating an authentic version of herself, which made her stand out as a disruptor in the crowded content creator space. Chamberlain’s fans don’t only find her content entertaining and filled with humor, but rather comforting, feeling that they are not alone in their journey.
Since then, Chamberlain won the People’s Choice award Pop Podcast category and was acknowledged by Forbes, making it on the “30 under 30 – Social Media” list in 2021. With her mannerisms, her unique video editing was largely imitated, shaping a new vlogging style by keeping it real. Bringing her modernity and edge to the French house of beauty, Chamberlain said, “I have always had my own notion of beauty and didn’t project myself within the beauty industry because of the duality that I show, mixing comfort with being nicely put together. Hence why, when Lancôme came to me, I felt so honored and excited that the brand understood and appreciated who I am.”
Françoise Lehmann, Lancôme International president added, “I am proud to welcome Emma to the Lancôme family. Beside achieving so much at such an early age, Emma is adored by a generation for the perspectives that she shares. We can only appreciate her authentic tone, and the humor used to discuss meaningful topics.”
Joining the Lancôme stellar group of ambassadors, Chamberlain will add her irresistible wit and singularity. Together with Lancôme, Chamberlain will further spread the brand’s values of positive and powerful beauty to invite a whole generation to shine inside out.
Besides from being a renown content creator who openly addresses the issues of her generation, Chamberlain also got into the realm of business and created her own brand “Chamberlain Coffee” in 2020. Being the voice of a generation, Emma runs her own podcast “Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain” where she remains unfiltered.
With a social media following of almost 30M Emma has become one of the most influential, relatable and popular personality. She is a role model for her generation, who lives by her own convictions.
Starring In The First Ever Lancôme Web Series
The ones who want to watch Emma candidly wandering the Parisian streets and opening the doors of Lancôme offices, will not be left disappointed. The unprecedented web series “How do you say beauty in French” on Lancôme’s YouTube channel is full of surprises and sometime ambushes, showing Emma’s fresh perspective and modern humor. Watch now how Lancôme gave Emma the keys to their entire office, and be warned, she can do whatever she wants!
