Jeremy Irons in Donna Karan campaign

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!

    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.
