Forget the red carpet tuxedos. Forget fleeting trends. Versace’s latest campaign shatters expectations, casting the enigmatic Cillian Murphy as the face of its enduring legacy – the Versace Icons collection. Fresh off his Oscar win, Murphy isn’t here to play the typical menswear model. He’s an artist, a chameleon, and in this campaign, he becomes a living embodiment of the collection’s ethos. The Icons transcend fleeting fashion; they’re the building blocks of a man’s sartorial story.

Murphy said of the campaign, “Collaborating with Donatella – from sharing image references to selecting the music of Fontaines D.C. for the video – has resulted in a campaign that reflects who I am.

Think sharp tailoring that moves with a quiet confidence, a whisper of the brand’s signature boldness woven into timeless silhouettes. Think luxurious knits that drape effortlessly, the perfect canvas for a statement scarf or a glint of gold jewelry. Each piece resonates with a quiet power, a subtle defiance of the ordinary.

Murphy isn’t just modeling clothes; he’s breathing life into them. The campaign, shot by the visionary duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, is a symphony of movement and individuality. We see Murphy dancing to the electrifying sounds of Fontaines D.C., the rhythm echoing the dynamism of the Icons collection. It’s a celebration of defying expectations, of carving your own path in the world of style. This isn’t just a campaign; it’s a manifesto. It’s a call to embrace the man you are, not who trends dictate you should be. With Cillian Murphy as its guide, Versace’s Icons collection beckons you to build a wardrobe that’s as unique and enduring as you are.
