Style icon Alexa Chung fronts Longchamp’s Autumn 2016 advertising campaign for the second time
Shot on location in Paris, the birthplace of Longchamp, this stunning campaign is captured through the lens by renowned fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh.
Toting the Pénélope Fantaisie handbag, this eye-catching bag with its smooth leather and velvet texture looks perfect with Alexa’s woollen sweater in graphic black and white with grey thrown in. It’s an atmospheric setting and one which evokes the chic ambience of a Parisian café.
In another shot, Alexa smoulders in a reversible rabbit fur coat with ankle boots and clutching Longchamp’s new red Paris Premier handbag complete with luxurious lambskin lining. As the Parisian Fashion House’s signature luxury bag, the Paris Premier handbag is the star in a Jean-François Julian film which will debut on 4th October on Longchamp.com.
As a tribute to Longchamp’s flagship store located on 404 Rue Saint-Honoré, the film’s opening date will coincide with the reopening of this flagship’s store.
