Actors Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri make their foray into the fashion space. This seems just in time. With the film Rockstar in the news, two advertising campaigns have been released, which look to cash in on the lead pair’s current popularity, though not together. While men’s footwear brand, Franco Leone, has appointed Ranbir Kapoor as its brand ambassador, Nargis Fakhri is the face of Van Heusen Woman.

“Ranbir associates with the youth well. He also brings a refreshing new look, which will go a long way in reinforcing universal appeal for our brand,” believes S C Bhambri, Chairman, Franco Group. Franco Leone offers formal and casual footwear for men and is available at retail stores across India.

Meanwhile, Fakhri features in Van Heusen Woman’s new collection titled ‘Eye Candy’, which is also the centrepiece of their autumn-winter lineup. The lifestyle brand got acclaimed photographer Justin Polkey to shoot Fakhri for the campaign. She’s seen wearing a mostly “corporate go-getter wardrobe” featuring dresses made of lace sheath, stripes, animal prints, florals, paired with unlined blazers, parka jackets, suede coats, offset by oversized belts and maxi envelope clutches. Fakhri is a model after all and this role suits her.
