Christina Ricci For Fashionaire

Christina Ricci - www.vogue.co.uk

Samsonite has tapped actress Christina Ricci as the new face of Fashionaire, the newly-relaunched cult Sixties accessory line by the luggage maker’s premium Black Label.

Ricci was chosen for the gig mainly because of the strong, kooky style she is known for, qualities which make her a natural choice to represent the brand. At the launch of the collection at New York's Gramercy Park Hotel, the Black Snake Moan star said, "I view fashion as art. Wearing Madame Gres is like wearing a museum piece."

With Cameron Silver of vintage couture boutique Decades as consultant, the range is spot-on vintage, bearing a contemporary 'flower-power' monochrome print and lined with orange sateen. The line also includes an umbrella, wallet and key-ring alongside its bags, beauty case and wheeled cases.
