Gucci’s Fall Campaign Heads to Los Angeles
Shot by Glen Luchford, the images star models Lia Pavlova, Tessa Bruinsma, Tobias Lundh, and Sven de Vries on the streets—and subways—of Los Angeles. (Consider this another point for the city’s fashion cred.) As with the Pre-Fall campaign, the models’ faces are concealed by windswept hair and deep side-parts, putting Michele’s Fall 2015 ruffled dresses and floral suiting on full display.
Rag & Bone Spring 2015 Campaign Video
The American fashion label has used the Boardwalk Empire actor for three consecutive seasons. But for Spring/Summer 2015, Pitt was on both sides of the camera for the label’s first conjoined men’s and women’s campaign co-starring actress Astrid Berges-Frisbey.
Marking Pitt’s directorial debut, the 12-minute film was shot in NYC and is presented in Rag & Bone’s customary black-and-white cinematography. Photographer Glen Luchford, who is also a Rag & Bone favorite, took supplementary images during the shoot for the collection’s print campaign.
Watch Michael Pitt and Winona Ryder for Rag & Bone Fall 2014
Michael Pitt and Winona Ryder get kitted out in Rag & Bone Fall 2014 for the latest campaign, shot by Glen Luchford. All the fun of the fair as the nostalgia tinged film takes us to Coney Island. Ryder comes away with some stuffed animals while long-time friend of the brand Pitt pouts his way across the beach, shows a punchbag who’s the boss.
Michael Pitt and Léa Seydoux for Rag and Bone VIDEO
Actor Michael Pitt and Model-turned-Actor Léa Seydoux star in two short films for label Rag & Bone. Shot by Glen Luchford, a black and white NYC plays backdrop to these moody shorts. The filmmaker explains “whatever came naturally. My aesthetic is planned and controlled reportage—which is obviously a contradiction. On the day, you have to just let go and see what happens. Sparks fly and unexplained ideas pop up.” Featured first on Nowness, press play and head here for the Léa Seydoux film.
Glen Luchford - Damaged Negatives
"I put the images in storage for two weeks, which turned into two months. The entire storage unit flooded and the owner didn’t tell anyone, so by the time I arrived, the images were just mostly gone or in a state of high deterioration."

'Damaged Negatives' by Glen Luchford
Photographer Glen Luchford spent the nineties shooting for magazines such as Vogue, The Face and Arena. His classic and observant sense of narrative became one of the signature aesthetics of the era; part Robert Doisneau, part George Brassai, his images are clean and clear, dramatic in their understatement and nostalgically realistic about the impact of modernity upon latterday living.
His new book Damaged Negatives is, on the one hand, his own idiosyncratic take on the work he did during this time. On the other hand though, it is an Act of God. “I put the images in storage for two weeks,” Luchford explains, “which turned into two months. The entire storage unit flooded and the owner didn’t tell anyone, so by the time I arrived, the images were just mostly gone or in a state of high deterioration. There were flies and mould everywhere. On a sub-conscious level, you have to ask why I would ever have put them in such a ridiculous place,” he continues, “considering one print just sold for £25,000, and I lost thousands and thousands of negatives.”
Alexa Chung, Face of Maje Fall 2012 Ads
French brand Maje tapped Alexa Chung for its fall ads, which were inspired by sixties films. Shot by photographer Glen Luchford, the black-and-white images were taken during the early morning in Paris's Porte des Lilas métro station. This tops the model and British Vogue contributor's growing list of campaigns — she's appeared in advertisements for Superga, Pepe Jeans, Vero Moda, and more in recent seasons. While her Maje ads haven't yet been released, here's a portrait of Alexa on set that you can admire in the meantime.
