Dree Hemingway

Hemingway's Great-Granddaughter Stars in Louis Vuitton Safari Campaign

Filed under: Apparel, Handbags, Luxury Travel & Hotels


Earlier this year we told you about model Dree Hemingway, 22, daughter of Mariel Hemingway and great-granddaughter of famous author Ernest Hemingway, who's making a name for herself among the fashion crowd. Now the willowy blonde is starring in a luxe new safari-themed ad campaign for Louis Vuitton (above). Reminiscent of Hemingway's African tales such as The Snows of Kilimanjaro, the casting choice is a fitting one as the author is often credited with introducing the Swahili word "safari" into common parlance.

The new Vuitton campaign, highlighting the famed French luxury goods house's handmade travel items, was shot on location in Africa. Photographed by Carter Smith, the ads feature Dree and a handsome young fellow enjoying the dramatic scenery of the African veldt. Items on display include bags, trunks, journals, watches, blankets, sunglasses, jewelry, clothing and even a few items of vintage Vuitton luggage. The campaign comes on the heels of Dree's selection as the face of Italian fashion house Gianfranco Ferré earlier this year, following appearances for Abercrombie & Fitch and DKNY.

Hemingway's Great-Granddaughter Named the New Face of Gianfranco Ferré

Filed under: Apparel


Willowy blonde model Dree Hemingway, 22, daughter of Mariel and great-granddaughter of famous author Ernest Hemingway, has been chosen to star in the latest ad campaign for Italian fashion house Gianfranco Ferré. The firm's creative directors Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi say they chose Hemingway to portray "the free and fearless nature of an utterly feminine woman" which the collection demanded. Dutch photography duo Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin shot the images for the Spring / Summer 2010 campaign. Dree has previously appeared in ad campaigns for Abercrombie & Fitch and DKNY and was featured on the runway of Givenchy's Fall / Winter 2009-10 fashion show.
