Terry Richardson, Lea T and Poppy Delevingne are the stars of the
PHILIPP PLEIN Spring/ Summer 2013 campaign.
The famous American photographer once again shoots the Swiss maison's advertising campaign for Spring / Summer 2013. Featuring Richardson himself alongside two international top models.

A new Versailles. No longer lit up by candle light, but by ultra-modern neon lights that are reflected endlessly in a sophisticated mirroring effect. Contemporary wood-panelling. Two new leading ladies top models Lea T and Poppy Delevingne. This is the subject of the new PHILIPP PLEIN Spring Summer 2013 campaign, shot for the second time by the famous American photographer Terry Richardson. As "king of the gang", once again in this shoot, he has moved to the other side of the lens and become a star of the campaign himself. In fact, the slogan of the new work will be "Terry Richardson and the gang", confirming the photographer's total artistic and personal identification with the spirit of the brand. For last season's campaign, FW 2012, Richardson made the surprise decision, for the first time in his career, to feature himself alongside the famous British actor and singer, Ed Westwick, celebrity testimonial of the Swiss maison.
The stars are Brazil's Lea T and British model, Poppy Delevingne. The former, a rebellious non-conformist, the latter, sophisticated and aristocratic. Sexy, as they are swathed in super figure-hugging nappa leather, ethereal, as they are caressed by light and airy lace and voile. Luxurious, in silk laden with opulent rococo prints. Their highly sensual and contrasting femininity is emphasized by the appearance of two identical male twins in each shot, real toy boys playing their provocative and impertinent games. In pure PHILIPP PLEIN style.
The women depicted are strong and seductive, as dictated by the Swiss maison's founder and designer himself for the new collection. A young noblewoman amuses herself by joining an aristocratically punk party, with a skillful mix of luxury and outrageousness, opulence and rigour. Irreverent and sensual scenes set in imaginary halls of the Court of Versailles, re-styled in the severity of black and white, with dark walls, illuminated by post-industrial neon white.
The campaign for the upcoming Spring/Summer season by PHILIPP PLEIN pays homage to the ostentation of a glorious epoch that now belongs to the past. But it is also a tribute to the contemporary woman, self-assured and decisive, who loves to amaze and surprise with continuous contrasts, skillfully blending severity and provocation, classic with modern, sensuality and strength.
"I am happy that my creations will again be interpreted with the artistic inspiration of an undisputed genius of contemporary photography like Terry Richardson," said Philipp Plein. "The fact that he wanted to shoot self-portraits together with Lea T and Poppy Delevingne in these new images for Spring Summer 2013 makes me even prouder of my work. I hope that our combined energy, both Terry's and mine, and our idea of beauty will be appreciated by many, if not by all."
