NEW YORK, Mar 17, 2010 / FW/ — This is not your usual casting call or modeling competition. There will be two winners and they have to be a mother and daughter.
On Sunday, Mar 28th, Comptoir des Cotonniers will host its seasonal modeling competition to cast for their upcoming campaign for the Fall 2010-2011 collection titled “The Mother, The Daughter & La Mode”. The winning mother and daughter will be the face of the brand for the season, and will walk in the Fall Fashion Show in Paris on May 31st.
Each season, Comptoir des Cotonniers selects a real mother and daughter duo to star in its campaign – last season, nearly 100 hopefuls entered the contest. The tradition is built on the brand’s tie to the bond between mother and daughter. Since 1997, more than 100 duos have represented the brand and been featured in the campaigns.
The winning Duo will be featured in the brand’s advertising campaign, which will be seen in magazines, as well as in their website, blogs, editorials, and in all their stores. After the winners’ debut in Paris, they will fly to the location to shoot the campaign (previous campaigns were shot in Greece, South Africa and Paris).
