That became the idea behind CLASSICS REBORN, a global Tommy Hilfiger x Shawn Mendes campaign built around reinvention — of materials, color, community and self. Working as Creative Director with Team Laird, I helped shape one idea across film, photography, storytelling and a cast that stretched from family to artists to cultural voices around Shawn.
Heritage got a little less nostalgic and a lot more alive.
Shot by Cass Bird, the campaign brought together an eclectic cast of friends, family, artists and changemakers — including Maye Musk, Aaliyah Mendes, Jon Vinyl, Mike Sabath and Ahmad Cissé.
I also accidentally ended up singing a 40-second duet with Shawn while recording VO. Creative direction has its perks.
Yesterday’s textiles, tomorrow’s classics. Waste becomes resource. Familiar becomes new.
The people around us shape who we become. Choose the ones who move you forward.
Old fibers. New color. Waste, reimagined in full saturation.
Same you. New perspective. A reminder that reinvention doesn’t require becoming someone else.
