Ryan Reynolds and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Are New Faces of Marks & Spencer

Marks & Spencer has tapped Ryan Reynolds and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for a series of prints to promote a new Autograph collection, which is due hit stores tomorrow, September 1. The Hollywood A-listers joined the team of models, actresses and actors, who front the M&S ad campaigns—the apparel manufacturer frequently introduces new faces and axes previous celebrity packed promotions with no regrets, like it was in mid-July.

Rosie and Ryan are the perfect fit for Autograph—beautiful, exclusive and absolutely contemporary… On set, they worked together to deliver a mesmerizing performance which allowed us to capture shots that literally sizzle with excitement and an air of mystery. It’s a very different campaign for M&S as it’s the first time that we have focused on one of our brands in this way. We are very proud of the result—a set of truly stunning photographs that totally encapsulates the Autograph brand,” commented M&S executive director Steve Sharp.

The pieces in this collection are lasting staples that’ll never go out of style,” added Reynolds.
