Designer Marc Jacobs has selected Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and Missy Elliott as stars in his fall 2016 ad campaign. Jacobs shared both portraits, which were photographed by David Sims, on his Instagram. “Genesis continues to explore, shape shift and define what it means to give love, be loved and live love,” Jacobs said in a caption. “For me, Genesis is a sort of come-to-life definition of realness and authenticity and how being lost in an experience or new idea can result in growth and evolution.” Jacobs also opened up about working with Missy, saying, “I am in continued awe of Missy’s ability to push the boundaries of the style of music both to the eye and to the ear. It was a dream of mine to work with her.” Last year, Jacobs selected Kim Gordon and her daughter, Coco Moore, for his fall ’15 campaign. Earlier today it was announced that Missy Elliott’s lyrics will appear on Sprite cans in the second installment of the “Obey Your Thirst” Lyrical Collection campaign.
In a continuing series of portraits for our Fall 2016 ad campaign, the individuals in these photographs represent a collective embodiment of love, honesty, integrity, courage, strength, curiosity and inspiration. Together, as one story, this collection is a reminder to question and challenge normal and to continue exploring and pushing boundaries. To quote Lana Wachowski, “I am suspicious of everything connected to that word [normal]. It is, to my thinking, a politically correct euphemism for obedience and conformity.” GENESIS P-ORRIDGE, Unconditional Love Through music, poetry and art, Genesis continues to explore, shape shift and define what it means to give love, be loved and live love. For me, Genesis is a sort of come-to-life definition of realness and authenticity and how being lost in an experience or new idea can result in growth and evolution. @pandrogyne Photographed by David Sims and styled by Katie Grand.
