Of the advert, the designers commented: Says Henry Holland, “I am over-the-moon to be featured in the ad – it's fun and light hearted and gave me the opportunity to show off some of my H! by Henry Holland accessories as well as the clothing.
“The team have done a great job in capturing the hands on involvement Designers at Debenhams have on what lands in customers' wardrobes.”
Says Julien Macdonald, “The focal dress plays perfectly into the glamorous seventies trend that will be big next season - the combination of a bold print and flattering cut means it's perfect for going from board room to bar effortlessly!”
Says Ben de Lisi, "After the tremendous success of our first Designers at Debenhams commercial, I was both proud and pleased to participate in the new campaign.
“My Principles by Ben de Lisi collection has a very modern and geometric slant; think Park Avenue princess meets cool Soho artist. Terribly chic with a young slick edge.”
Says John Rocha, “My work is all about creating beautiful pieces that reflect my many global influences balanced with contemporary styling. I really enjoy being part of the Designers at Debenhams.”
Says Karen Peacock, design director at Debenhams, “Red Herring offers a complete wardrobe from basics through to special catwalk inspired items while being great value for money.
“The advert reflects the big trends for the season including colourful outerwear and knits - bright cobalt blue, winter orange, pillar box red and mustard yellow are key.
“Faux fur jackets - the shaggier, the better – are also a huge trend with 70's influence midi dresses and pussy bow blouses featuring heavily alongside winter chinos in deep oxblood and tobacco.”
Details on the adverts: Henry Holland casts an approving eye over his H! by Henry Holland shoe range with the scene ending on a close up of an ankle boot; the boot is then seen on a young woman riding a bicycle and laughing with a friend, both wearing Henry's clothing range.
Julien Macdonald shows the movement of his snakeskin print dress in his studio before a young woman is seen dancing on an evening out in the same turquoise and black dress.
Ben de Lisi examines the detailing of his 60s inspired dress on a tailor's dummy before the scene changes to reveal a woman showing off her new dress to a friend while a handsome man looks on in admiration.
For the Red Herring advert, Karen Peacock, Debenhams design director works with fabric on a cutting table which is then transformed into a skirt worn by a young woman taking pictures of her friends on a day out.
