Celebrity Brand Ambassador Successes? Need help!

hey everyone,

Just working on an essay for uni and need a bit of help please. Can anyone think of good examples of where a celebrity (film star, music, etc) has been a model/muse/ambassador for a fashion label and his worked well for both parties?

I’m thinking something along the lines of Victoria Beckham for Marc Jacobs…I guess it is too early to establish the success of this but things along the lines.

Ideally I’m looking for a celeb who career was on a bit of a down and they were reinvigorated with a link with a label.

All help much appreciated.

Cheers

Jaeger used Erin O'Connor before Marks and all the rest and I think it benefited both parties well - Jaeger has been breaking out of somewhat fuddy duddy image into a credible British Fashion brand. Don't get me started on Vicky B - Marc Jacobs isn't obviously blessed with good taste.. Check People Tree - I think Sienna has been supportive of this ethical label and you can see that working to help both.

After richard gere was mentioned i think the rest are clutching at straws. They are just people who have had campaigns with them.

Why not? I'm thinking where the star and the clothing have a directly recognisable correllation. The fact they're sportsman is a side issue really.
