Apocalyptic Fashion Ads

The Marc Jacobs SS14 Campaign Stars Somber Miley Cyrus

— January 10, 2014 — Fashion
The Marc Jacobs SS14 ad campaign didn't need a wrecking ball to portray a sense of destruction. Instead, it embraces an apocalyptic theme full of dead and zombie-like models. It is no wonder that Miley Cyrus is looking rather somber. For a second a person might think that she has finally taken the time to reflect on her bad behaviour over the last few months. Alas, that is not the case.

Shot by photographer David Sims, the Marc Jacobs SS14 ad campaign was styled by Katie Grand. Moody and murky, the scenes are complemented with equally dark ensembles in the form of an embellished blue top, embroidered sneakers and maroon shorts. Impressively cinematic, the Marc Jacobs SS14 ad campaign brings an edge to the spring and summer seasons.
