Quote:
Givenchy Turns to Julia Roberts
By Miles Socha | December 9, 2014
PARIS — Even without her famous smile, Julia Roberts is unmistakable in her surprising turn modeling for Givenchy. Riccardo Tisci cast the actress to appear in a spring campaign that telegraphs the more classic side of the French fashion house. He dressed Roberts in signature Givenchy styles including a boxy jacket, lace shirt and a tuxedo dress.
“The mood of the show was about this very powerful woman, and Julia represents this very much,” Tisci told WWD. “She represents the couture part. It’s important to show your iconic work. I want to build what is the real classic wardrobe.” (...) For the campaign, Tisci opted to showcase Roberts in more “boyish” guise, with minimal hair and makeup to exalt her striking features. “I decided to make her more intellectual, more serious, more pure,” he said. “It’s a different, fresh, new way to see Julia — really cool and urban, I think.” (...)
Casting one of Hollywood’s biggest movie stars in a Givenchy campaign represents a dream come true for Tisci (...). “She’s incredible as a woman,” he said. “I love her so much: She’s funny, ironic, intelligent, cultured — everything.” Tisci lauded Roberts as a versatile, accomplished and serious actress, who keeps a relatively low profile in spite of her popularity. “She’s not really out there: red carpet, parties, Facebook and Instagram,” Tisci noted. “She really represents my woman. She’s got a really strong sense of fun and is very open.”
