ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY, Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio are the Loewe girls for Stuart Vevers this autumn/winter 2010-11.
"We chose women whose beauty would shine through in every frame, even in the quiet moments that Nigel [Shafran, the photographer] captures. I had met Alessandra during the last Paris shows and Rosie walked in our presentation and Adriana was a natural choice," Vevers tells VOGUE.COM of the casting, adding: "Nigel's pictures have an intelligent, narrative quality. Something cinematic."

Vevers had previously met Shafran when they had collaborated on developing images for Loewe's Amazona 35th anniversary bag project earlier in the year. "I really liked the results, Nigel brought something different that didn't feel like a fashion image. I really liked that."
And it's that sense of realism that has inspired the images for
Loewe's new campaign.
"Our recent focus has been on the real values of the house, what it does best and is known for, and making them relevant for today," Vevers explains. "One of the aims of the campaign was to present those unique qualities in an original and authentic way."
Cue taking to the streets of Madrid and various regal Spanish locations for the shoot.
"There are practical considerations like how the light will change through the day and it's quite a production travelling with all the team. And we did lots of travel this season as I wanted to highlight the house's unique Spanish heritage, so we took to the streets of Madrid, the National Archaeological Museum and a decorative gold apartment block lobby. We also travelled to grand Spanish locations, like a palace in Toledo and beautiful gardens in Segovia," Vevers tells us.
