Calvin Klein has today announced that Kenyan star Lupita Nyong’o is one of the two faces of the brand’s new fragrance. The fragrance is the brand’s first offering since Raf Simons took over as chief creative officer in 2016. Nyong’o and another Hollywood star Saoire Ronan were tapped to feature in the advertising campaign.
The campaign, directed by artist Anne Collier, features both striking, minimalist portraits of the award-winning actresses alongside women they have personally been inspired by. Nyong’o chose Eartha Kitt and Katharine Hepburn, while Ronan picked Sissy Spacek and Nina Simone.
“The campaign is an exploration of femininity—a group of women bonded by a common thread; the desire to have the power to create their own identity, and to support and lead the way for those that come after them,” Simons said in a press release. He explained that Women, which features notes of eucalyptus acorns, orange flower petals, and Alaskan cedarwood, is inspired by “freedom of expression” and “the transmission of strength and inspiration from woman to the next.”
