A synergy that pushes boundaries
Donatella Versace, the soul and heart of the fashion house of the same name, said about the choice of Murphy as the face of the collection: "When I saw Cillian, I immediately recognized the spirit of Versace in him. Strong, direct and iconic!” This statement emphasizes that the choice of Murphy was not a coincidence, but a deliberate decision that reflects the brand's values.
Photogenic that tells stories
At the heart of the campaign are photographs by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, which feature Murphy and his co-star Anne Hathaway in strong black and white. Murphy, dressed in a jacket with Medusa Biggie's signature metallic details, and Hathaway, in jeans with tiny silver and gold details, conjure up the freshness and dynamism of the collection.
Anne Hathaway, who is also part of this iconic campaign, wrote about Murphy: “What a talent you are. I am proud to see your evolution at Versace Icons.” Her words reflect the deep respect and admiration they share for the creative process.
