Chanel has announced that actress Kristen Stewart is the new face of its 2016 ‘Eyes Collection’ campaign, photographed by acclaimed photographer Mario Testino.
According to the fashion house, Kristen posed “for a series of portraits that incarnate the different facets of a contemporary woman” for the campaign, which will debut in March.
The On the Road actress has previously starred in a short film, Once and Forever, which was directed by Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld for the brand’s Métiers d’Art fashion show in Rome last December, and also fronted a 2013 campaign for their Métiers d’Art Paris-Dallas collection and advertisements for a 2015 eyewear range.
Karl, 82, has previously spoken of how much he enjoyed working with Kristen on Once and Forever, the latest of his films about Coco Chanel.
He said “I think she’s one of the greatest actors of her generation. She gives the right emotion and the right intensity immediately so it’s very easy to work her.”
The outspoken designer, who has previously worked with Keira Knightley and Cara Delevingne on his films, believes his on-screen creations are better than any other biopics released recently.
This year, Kristen willbe featured in the upcoming film Personal Shopper by French director OlivierAssayas, as well as an as-yet untitled film by Woody Allen and Oscar-winningdirector Ang Lee’s Iraq war drama Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk.
