Kendall Jenner Brings Blunt Bangs & Attitude for New Marni Campaign

Marni‘s newest handbag is front and center in the brand’s latest fall 2024 campaign. Starring supermodel Kendall Jenner and musician Teezo Touchdown, the duo showcase statement knits and outerwear from the brand’s most recent collection.

Photographed by Colin Dodgson in Los Angeles, the campaign contrasts Marni’s whimsical designs with the quotidian setting of suburbia.

“Vibrant images, captured through characteristic warm yellow hues of Dodgson’s analogue photography in the house’s interiors, showcase Kendall Jenner and Teezo Touchdown in key looks from the runway,” a statement from the label reads. “The quintessential motifs of suburban paradise, white picket fences and all, draw an intentional tension with the animalic charisma of the collection. Rich, primal textures encourage a shedding of predefined structures, engaging in a sensual and powerful dialogue with the camera.”

Both spokesmodels also carry Marni’s new Trunkaroo handbag, which made its debut during the brand’s fall 2024 fashion show in Milan earlier this year.

The presentation, staged inside a crinkled paper cave, spotlighted tactile clothing including kidassia fur jackets, hand-painted frocks and fuzzy separates. WWD’s Miles Socha described models as “couture Flintstones.”

“[Creative director Francesco] Risso gave elementary shapes — cocoons, trapezes and tabards — considerable drama by employing stiff fabrics, hairy surfaces and hand-painting that at times evoked the dreamy, wondrous mood of Vincent van Gogh’s ‘The Starry Night,’” he wrote.

Speaking to WWD in April, Risso discussed how he found inspiration for his latest collection.

“Around October, I found myself sinking, mentally sinking, like the world was pushing on my head too much,” he explained. “One day I read this phrase in a book by Virginia Woolf, where she is inviting her friend for a weekend in the countryside. She tells them, ‘Bring no clothes.’ That stayed with me for such a long time. I absorbed it and my brain processed it before I could express it in words. She [may have been] meaning nudity. She meant really come as you are outside of the social structures that society was setting.”
