Rooney Mara and Paul Simonon Star in Givenchy’s Spring Campaign

Creative director Sarah Burton has unveiled Givenchy’s highly anticipated Spring 2026 campaign, titled “Friends and Muses,” bringing together two iconic cultural figures. The campaign stars actor Rooney Mara and legendary punk musician Paul Simonon, former member of The Clash. Photographed by renowned image-maker Collier Schorr, the intimate portraits celebrate the intersection of artistic influence and personal connection that defines Burton’s creative vision.

A Celebration of Creative Relationships

Burton shared her philosophy behind the collaboration, stating that her friends often become muses and vice versa. The campaign marks the second installment of Givenchy’s Portrait Series, continuing the house’s tradition of spotlighting influential cultural figures. This approach reflects Burton’s desire to showcase real relationships within the creative world rather than relying solely on conventional modeling campaigns.

Building on Winter Success

The Spring 2026 campaign follows the success of Givenchy’s Winter 2025 collection, which featured an impressive roster of models and muses including Adut Akech, Vittoria Ceretti, Kaia Gerber, and Liu Wen. That shoot notably included members of Burton’s own creative team, emphasizing the collaborative nature of the house’s vision. The consistent approach demonstrates Burton’s commitment to authenticity and personal connection in high fashion storytelling.

The campaign underscores Givenchy’s positioning as a brand that values artistic merit and cultural significance alongside traditional fashion credentials, resonating with today’s fashion-conscious audiences seeking meaningful brand narratives.
