Beyonce shows off Omani label on Renaissance World Tour
DUBAI: Model Mona Tougaard stars in Ferragamo’s latest Renaissance-inspired campaign in an homage to its deep-rooted Italian heritage.
The campaign features Tougaard — who has Danish, Turkish, Somali and Ethiopian ancestry — alongside prolific runway models taking center stage beside Renaissance paintings loaned from the famed Uffizi Gallery, an art museum in Florence known for its extensive collection of antique sculptures and paintings.
In the new campaign, Tougaard is seen dressed in a white, ankle-length dress with draped shoulders, posing against Italian Renaissance painter Francesco Granacci’s “Giuseppe condotto in prigione,” crafted in 1515 for the Borgherini family nuptial chamber.
Earlier this month, Tougaard added another campaign to her repertoire with Chanel.
The runway star took to Instagram to share a video and pictures from her latest shoot for the French label’s “Summer To-Go Essentials.”
The short clip was a tutorial on how to use the label’s products to get a glowing and bronzed look for summer.
“Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream tutorial,” she titled her post.
“Using the kabuki brush, apply Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream to the areas where the sunlight would naturally hit: the cheeks, nose, forehead, chin and décolleté,” she wrote to her followers.
“Available in a new travel-friendly size (15 g), it can go wherever you do, for a healthy luminous glow all summer long,” she added.
In the video, Tougaard was seen using the water-fresh tint from the Les Beiges range. She also applied the tint on her collarbone for an extra glow.
This is not the first time that Tougaard — who was scouted at the age of 12 and has been modeling since she was 15 — has teamed up with Chanel.
In July, she walked the cobblestoned banks of the Seine River for the luxury label’s haute couture collection in Paris.
“This collection is the portrait of a sensitive yet bold Parisienne,” said Virginie Viard, Chanel’s creative director, at the time. “It’s like standing on a line between strength and delicacy.”
Tougaard wore a black straight-leg jumpsuit with floral detailing.
She walked alongside British-Moroccan model Nora Attal, who wore a floral dress.
Tougaard participated in a recent campaign with Italian luxury fashion house Tod’s, under Creative Director Walter Chiapponi.
The model can be seen in the brand’s campaign wearing iconic Tod’s accessories such as the Di Bag as well as their loafers with new horse-bit details.
