"We really wanted to stand behind the couture in Juicy Couture with this campaign so we played more to our fun, glamorous, unapologetic side. We also wanted to showcase the true evolution of the brand's most iconic item, the tracksuit, styled with modern, ready-to-wear pieces," says LeAnn Nealz, President and Chief Creative Officer of Juicy Couture. "It's a fresh, bold look for us—definitely an exciting time."

Daring, bright and confident, the Juicy Couture girl is fearlessly reenergized for fall. The main spread juxtaposes two images of Zimmermann -- one in black and white, clad in a tartan plaid kilt, double breasted blazer and a "Couture is Here" emblazoned tee piled with layers of necklaces; the other in vivid color, featuring a black faux fur "Teddy Bear" jacket and red tricot track pant.

Featuring some of the biggest names in fashion, the campaign was styled by George Cortina, with makeup by Dick Page, hair styling by Eugene Souleiman and set design by Stefan Beckman. The "Couture is Here" advertising campaign will debut across the country in stores in late August 2011, and follow with a comprehensive media plan spanning national magazines including Vogue, Teen Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Interview as well as digital and outdoor advertising beginning September 2011.
