Fashion icon Anne Klein partners with Golden Globe Award winner Gina Rodriguez for its Fall/Holiday 2022 campaign, which debuts in Harper's Bazaar's September issue.
The TV series Jane the Virgin made Rodriguez famous for her role as Jane.
Named the "Next Big Thing" and one of the "Top 35 Latinos Under 35," by The Hollywood Reporter, Rodriguez has also starred in multiple feature films including Filly Brown (2012), Deepwater Horizon (2016), Ferdinand (2017), Annihilation (2018), Miss Bala (2019), Someone Great (2019), Scoob! (2020), and voiced the titular character of the Netflix animated action-adventure series Carmen Sandiego.
In addition to her ability to convincingly play a variety of different roles on screen, Gina Rodriguez is admired for her charitable efforts and support of gender equality.
Having created the We Will Foundation with her sisters and positioned to empower Hispanic youth through the arts and education, her work has made her an advocate of representation for Latina women in Hollywood.
"Gina exemplifies the Anne Klein brand ethos as she is a leader in her industry and a strong advocate for her community," said Effy Zinkin, Chief Operating Officer at WHP Global, owner of the Anne Klein brand. "We are honored to have her as the face of our new campaign and as our partner to help further the brand's mission of encouraging, empowering, and engaging women through content and causes that create and foster community." "I am thrilled to join forces with the team at Anne Klein and to support their efforts to make an impact for future communities of women," adds Rodriguez. "I feel blessed to be in a position to help champion the voices and art of the Latinx community and partner with like-minded brands that can bring real change."Mark Seliger shot the Fall 2022 campaign in New York City.
From early September, Macy's, Dillard's, Belk, Nordstrom, Amazon, and Anne Klein.com will carry the new Fall collection.
In addition, Gina Rodriguez will endorse and support the brand's cause partner by modeling the winning t-shirt design for Anne Klein's Scholar Design Competition.
By becoming an eBay Shopping Associate through Charity Shop of Giving, shoppers will earn donations to the Fashion Scholarship Fund, a national charity that helps support, encourage, and reward the future of fashion.
The winning design for the shirt that celebrates SCAD's rich FSF alumni and represents Puerto Rico as well was submitted by Valeria Nicole, a recent SCAD graduate and Puerto Rico native, who credits her art to her FSF scholar's ambition to bring new styles of high fashion to Puerto Rico and beyond.
Gina Rodriguez follows supermodel and activist Joan Smalls as the next talent for the Anne Klein brand which spotlights dynamic women each season.
New talent will be added to the company next spring and the following fall in support of the company's two-year initiative.
