Iceberg presents a Downtown Gallery for its spring-summer 2015 campaign. Celebrating its 40 year anniversary, Iceberg collaborates with Purple magazine founder and editor-in-chief Olivier Zahm. Zahm and Purple art director Gianni Oprandi capture the new advertisements, which feature faces of downtown New York. Starring in the campaign himself, Zahm also captures artist Mykki Blanco.
Discussing the spring campaign, Gilmar Group CEO Paolo Gerani shares, “Downtown Gallery is our new communication project that pays tribute to my family and to Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, art-directed by Olivier Zahm, editor in chief and founder of Purple Magazine. Olivier cleverly interpreted the historical dialogue between Iceberg and the world of culture and art, as at first Oliviero Toscani did in I Contemporanei campaigns (1980-1986) with a gallery of characters including Andy Warhol, Vivienne Westwood, Franco Moschino, Ettore Sottsass, Elio Fiorucci, and as Steven Meisel did later on in the Gente di oggi campaigns (1993 – 1996) with Farrah Fawcett, Sofia Coppola, Iggy Pop and Isabella Rossellini.”
