I’m in an autumnal mood today and these adverts fit in just perfectly. Jeremy Iron’s understated British elegance meets Donna Karan’s cool aesthetic. Warm colour palette, calm atmosphere, but a wanderer spirit. “It was rather like acting,” the actor mused when asked about a previous Donna Karan campaign he had starred in. “Only, if a film is a concerto, then this was like playing jazz. You still build inner stories.”

Love these photos! I don’t remember having seen them before, I’m sure I would remember them if I had.
I’m off pinning!
Hot! ; )
We don’t have Donna Karan in New Zealand, so I hadn’t seen this campaign before – but I have to say, I love it! It’s interesting to see a side of Jeremy Irons that appears quite removed from the characters he normally portrays.
I remember (though I might be wrong) Donna once admitted that she hired Irons for the campaign because she wanted to find a way to meet him in person without making it too personal. 🙂 Loved those campaigns (and also the white linen suit Mila was wearing on one of the photos…)

Yes, I remember reading that about Donna Karan as well. 🙂 I know the linen suit Milla wore in the SS 2001 campaign, it was beautiful, and I meant to post that campaign too over the summer, but never got around to do it.
