The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2020 - Issue 27

bite watches M iss Lopez has certainly been busy collaborating with high-end retail brands lately. One of her most recent was with GUESS and Marciano for their Spring 2020 advertising campaign, art directed by Paul Marciano, Chief Creative Officer for GUESS Inc., and shot by photographer Ta- tiana Gerusova in Santa Monica, California. The shoot aimed to embody a classic Hollywood lifestyle with tousled hair and con- fident poses juxtaposed against California’s serene palm trees and beaches in the background. “I am thrilled to welcome Jennifer back for a second campaign with Guess and Marciano,” said Paul Marciano in a press state- ment for the campaign. "Jennifer continues to push bounda- ries in the music, fashion, and film industries and represents everything a Guess Girl is - confident, sensual, and adventur- ous. This campaign shines a spotlight on Jennifer’s natural beauty and showcases exactly why she is celebrated as a true icon.” In response to the announcement, Lopez said, “When- ever I do a collaboration, I always think of a character that I can play and be, and we had a lot of fun doing that with this campaign. The vibe this time was a mix between an Italian film star from the ‘60s, Madonna from the ‘80s, and Sophia Loren. It’s so much fun to get into the character and to make that happen. The clothes and setting of the shoot really worked well together to make this campaign come to life.” Since 1983, GUESS Watches has been known for its bling aesthetic and in this campaign, J-Lo is fea- tured wearing two of their over- stated and over-stoned timepiec- es. Adorned with 108 stones, the 40 mm case is available in gold, silver, black and gold, as well as the rose gold that Jennifer wears. The watch has a new iridescent plating that offers luminous colours which reflect when seen from differ- ent angles, taking on a rainbow effect. It also features mirror dial details with a holographic ombre look. The first time the actress and singer collaborated with GUESS was two years ago during their Spring 2018 campaign which saw her become the oldest Guess Girl in brand history at 48 years old. This season’s collection sees the iconic siren in a selection of shoes, dresses, skirts, crop tops, and shorts, including the Mar- ciano Long Patterned Dress, a long floral sleeveless v-neck dress with straps in synthetic fabric and a back zip fastening. The Marciano Heartbreaker Court Shoe is made of 100% real leather with sequin decorations. This pointed-toe model with a 4.1-inch heel has the opening on the sides, leather insole, fab- ric lining, and a rubber sole. Another beauty is the slim-fitting Marciano Blazer with a tone-on-tone print detail in synthetic fabric. It has a classic lapel, long sleeves, a front drawstring fas- tening, and welt pockets at the front. The blazer can be worn with the Marciano crop top and shorts to complete the look. Step out in style with the Crossover Top, a stretch synthetic fab- ric top with a round neck, and long sleeves. It has a polka dot print in lace with a front crossover and a back fastening. It can be worn with the Midi Skirt which has a medium waist, flare silhouette, and side zip fastening. Then keep it sizzling with the Marciano Vixen Sandal in real leather in a choice of yellow and fuchsia. It has a round toe, ankle strap fastening, and a 4.1-inch heel, along with leather insole, a fabric lining, and a rubber sole. One of the iconic looks in the campaign is the Bodycon Denim Dress which, at the time of writing, is currently sold out. This stretch cotton bodycon denim dress is sleeveless with a heart neckline and back zip fastening. The item has been realised through Indigo Flow, a proprietary process of Orta using a sus- tainable indigo dyeing technique to minimise the environmen- tal impact by using less water, saving up to 70%, and energy compared to traditional methods. Whilst these are all inspiring looks in which Jennifer Lopez looks sexy and sensational, something else in the Spring 2020 collection has caught our attention - the latest collaborative timepieces. Feast your eyes on models such as the Iridescent Multifunction Watch, a radiant 40 mm piece with the dial in silver, and the case and strap in stainless steel and iridescent purple. It is one of the most beautiful items you have ever seen. The case has a crystal bezel, a multifunction movement, and a water resistance of 50 ATM. The Multifunction Rhinestone 40 mm watch is similar in style but has the stainless steel case and dial in yellow gold with rhinestone detailing, with the silicone strap also encrusted with rhinestones. There are two other versions in this model - the first with the dial and case in silver and a white strap, and the second with the dial and strap in blue and the case in rose gold.
