Ellessee Enlists Digital Model Shudu For Spring 2019 Campaign

February 16, 2019. 1 Comment

Ellessee U.K. has enlisted digital model Shudu Gram for its spring 2019 campaign that highlights the label’s heritage-themed offerings. The campaign also features real-life Jamaican-born model Misty Bailey, who serves as Shudu’s inspiration for styling of the campaign.

Shudu Gram was launched on Instagram by British photographer Cameron-James Wilson in April 2017 and is described as “the first digital super model” James Wilson has said her appearance takes inspiration from multiple women including Lupita N’Yongo, Duckie Thot, Alek Wek and Nykho-Nyakueinyang Paul to create her. When she was first outed as digital, Wilson received a fair amount of push back for his creation because he is white and male. As well, his creation was viewed by some as taking modeling jobs from black women that are already in short supply.

That said, Shudu continues to land modeling jobs and is now part of The Digitals, a modeling agency comprised of seven CGI models and three “muse” models (Bailey is one), who often work on projects in tandem.

All of the items Shudu Gram and Bailey are modeling are now available at ellesse.co.uk.

Check out campaign images below.

The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her care The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her career as a professional tennis player in the September issue of American Vogue.

In the cover story, which is a must read, Williams shares some thoughts on her evolution away from tennis and says,"Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I’d be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity. Don’t get me wrong: I love being a woman, and I loved every second of being pregnant with Olympia. I was one of those annoying women who adored being pregnant and was working until the day I had to report to the hospital—although things got super complicated on the other side. And I almost did do the impossible: A lot of people don’t realize that I was two months pregnant when I won the Australian Open in 2017."

The cover editorial was styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who in 2020 became the first black woman to style a U.S. Vogue cover.

This cover was also one of the last projects hairstylist #LatishaChong worked on before  she sadly passed away in July this year.

Make-up by Raisa Flowers, nails by Dawn Sterling, and photography by Luis Alberto Rodriguez.

Eschewing a classust view on fashion, in another exchange, he said, "What I wanted to make wasn’t clothes that were only for people with money. It was things like jeans and t-shirts, things that were familiar to lots of people, easy to wash and easy to use."
