THE NEW MUSE OF MIU MIU 2014

What kind of connection exists between fashion and cinema? The answer is the one and only: Stacy Martin. 
Stacy Martin is the new muse of the Miu Miu Fall and Winter 2014 advertising Campaign.

So who is the girl with the fringe?  She is an actress from the controversial film Nymphomania with Shia LeBeouf, which features real sex scenes.  Stacy, 22, plays the younger version of the main character, Joe, a nymphomaniac who is then later played by Charlotte Gainsbourg.

For the Miu Miu campaign Stacy Martin appears as a modern-day Warholian superstar candidly shot by the great fashion photographer, Steven Meisel. The shoot is stark and minimal, with beautiful black and white profile shots of the actress.

Meisel’s bare sets and stark lighting accentuate her effortless beauty. In each  shot something different emerges.

Also important is the contrast with the texture like transparent plastic, quilted nylon, brocade, knit and astrakhan, which are amplified by her subtle presence and her dark fringe.

There is a mysterious cinematic edge to the images, a far-off look - arms folded, legs crossed, a finger provocatively raised to the lips. Darkness and light are the elements of this shoot and together suggest another side of the story.

The power of the eyes and the beauty of the innocent girl gives to us a rich narrative of multiple femininitie
