LABEL Munthe plus Simonsen, featured in the August 2005 issue of Lucire,
released a campaign starring Cindy Crawford earlier this year.
Shot by Henrik Bülow, the campaign celebrates 10 years of business from
the label’s two founders, Naja Munthe and Karen Simonsen.
The 38-year-old supermodel—while not the
first, the term is indelibly linked to her and her contemporaries—is reportedly a fan of the label. Cher, Nicole Kidman and Hélèna Christensen are, too. A video of the campaign is available from the Munthe plus Simonsen site.
The Munthe plus Simonsen look, as discussed by
publisher Jack Yan in the August issue, is one where there is a
solid, rational base, but with embellishments on top—without
losing cohesiveness.
Lucire correspondent Jennifer Lawson summarized
the newest collection: ‘[it] plays with the concepts of fierce
sensuality and penthouse punk, skilfully pairing glittery diamond
ties, masculine suits, lavish creamy beige fox furs, layered sheer
chiffon skirts, and brushed suede miniskirts with deliberate touches
of glossy satin, intricate metallic embroidery, and silky leather.’
She believes Munthe plus Simonsen’s clothing
is best suited for lounging or partying.
Jennifer looks at several other labels in Lucire’s
‘Nordic’ issue in August as the magazine examines the
region.
Lucire cannot publish these images after
July 15, when the licence expires, hence they are being run earlier,
rather than coinciding with the release of the August issue. •
