Marisa Miller Swaps Bikini For True Religion Jeans
True Religion is starting a series of jean ads featuring model Marisa Miller. True Religion CEO Jeffrey Lubell said in a press statement that the company is going for a hippie-bohemian-chic look. True Religion is also expanding its line into handbags, footwear, swimwear and headwear.
Under the direction of True Religion founder, chairman, chief executive officer and creative director Jeffrey Lubell, the women's ad images were shot in Malibu, California by photographer Ashley Barrett, whose clients include Dior, Bloomingdale's, Elle, and Women's Wear Daily. The women's ads showcase supermodel Marisa Miller, a Victoria's Secret Angel and the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover girl, in True Religion's premium denim, distinctive knits and sportswear, swimwear, footwear and accessories. The men's ads feature the Nathan Giant Big T in the newly introduced Blacklight denim group.
"For our inaugural advertising campaign, we wanted to capture the hippie-bohemian-chic spirit of True Religion," said Jeffrey Lubell, chairman and chief executive officer of True Religion Apparel, Inc. "We are pleased to have Marisa Miller as the face of True Religion in this campaign, as she epitomizes the look of our brand. This campaign also shows how we are expanding our line, with handbags, footwear, swimwear and headwear all coordinated from a single design vision."
Marisa Miller was the covergirl of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit issue.
