Menon stands front and center in ads for Givenchy F/W08.
[1] Despite the ongoing discussion over the lack of models of color on catwalks and campaigns, it’s nice to see that Lakshmi Menon is getting some attention. After last Spring’s [2] Hermès campaign, Lakshmi can soon be seen in ads this fall for Givenchy aside models Lara Stone, Natasha Poly, Kristen Owen and Maria Carla Boscono. In a statement released by Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci, he says, “I chose these five women that represent elegance, femininity and masculinity with character. It is a family portrait.”
Love that she’s so versatile. She can go from super feminine in editorials for [3] Biba Magazine to this stark no-nonsense look for Givenchy. I can’t wait to see what is next for her. What do you think?
