Platinum Blonde & Pastels

Uniqlo's Bright Summer 2009 Ad Campaign

Uniqlo brightens its Summer 2009 ad campaign with two platinum blonde British models, Agyness Deyn and Luke Worrall.

The bleached models showcase the colorful styles of the collection with styling by Nicola Formichetti and photography by Dan Jackson.

Agyness Deyn is joined in the Uniqlo Sports Casual Summer 2009 campaign by Halle Berry's squeeze, Gabriel Aubry. They also star in a slow-mo TV spot for the campaign.
