NEW YORK, Sep 16, 2009 / FW/ — For the second time, leading Italian jewelry designer Roberto Coin has signed on with advocate, entrepreneur and model Christy Turlington Burns to represent his brand and shoot the upcoming advertising campaign for 2009-2010.
According to Roberto Coin, Chairman/ Co-Founder of Roberto Coin Inc., “Our previous campaign with Christy was so successful and widely received. We are so pleased to be working with her again.”
