Apocalyptic Fashion Ads (UPDATE)

The Full Miley Cyrus for Marc Jacobs SS14 Ads Are Somber

Earlier this year, a single image of Miley Cyrus for Marc Jacobs popped up online, without much announcement that it was already in magazines. Now, photographer photographer David Sims' full campaign images by for Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2014 collection are out, following the same somber tone of the first image and lots more Miley.

Miley takes the forefront, along with a few other girls who look like they've just washed up on a beach, although the ads look more like the aftermath of a shipwreck than a Miley-grade party — there's much more brooding and being pensive than twerking and tongues hanging out.

Although the girls in this Marc Jacobs ad may be stranded, they really couldn't make being stranded in some dark, desolate place seem any more fabulous.
