Shirley Manson and Elijah Wood for Oliver People’s

2009.10.11

Shirley Manson and Elijah Wood are the slightly odd pairing of Oliver People’s 2010 Eyewear campaign. Not necessarily the conventional way to go but convention is boring. The resulting photos show that this pair totally work together. I just love these photos, which were shot by photographer Autumn De Wilde. Shirley Manson is a beautiful woman (and supercool to boot). Elijah Wood is working it too – he makes a surprisingly good male model but lets face it, like all male models, he is a mere accessory in this campaign – Shirely is the star.

This is what Oliver People’s website say about the upcoming campaign:
We are happy to share the initial imagery of our 2010 Campaign, to be launched on the Oliver Peoples website in November! After the beautiful job she did for the current season, we were excited to reunite with stellar photographer AUTUMN DE WILDE. Providing personality and a face to the frames is Scottish singing beauty SHIRLEY MANSON and Renaissance talent, ELIJAH WOOD. Easily recognized for his roles in Lord of the Rings, Sin City, Everything is Illuminated and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Elijah’s debonair personal style was an ideal fit for the campaign. Despite such success in his acting career, Elijah is also dedicated to photography and music, including the creation of his own record label called Simian Records in 2005. Stunning, scarlet-haired Shirley is best known as the lead vocalist of the Grammy-nominated alternative band, Garbage. In the last year, she assumed a role in the television series Terminator: the Sarah Conner Chronicles. Her edgy and dramatic sense of style lent a modern, mischievous air to the otherwise serious scenes of sunnies and spectacles. Orchestrating the imagery is internationally renowned photographer and director Autumn De Wilde. Her work has been featured on the pages of Vanity Fair, W, Elle, Rolling Stone, and V Magazine, and her most recent subjects include artists such as Beck, The White Stripes and celebrated fashion designers, Rodarte. Check back for additional photos and a short corresponding film, coming soon!

I am excited to see the short corresponding film; Shirley Manson recently proved that she can act in the television series Terminator: the Sarah Conner Chronicles and everyone knows that Elijah Wood is an amazing acting talent. I’m hoping that film is as successful as the resulting photos.
