To usher in the Rooster year, H&M got Li Chen and Fan Bingbing on board for their Chinese campaign.
Captured by iconic fashion photographer Chen Man, fans can finally preview the full campaign images portraying love and joy from the celebrity couple. Combining oriental aesthetics with a contemporary twist, the campaign illustrates the celebration of the Spring Festival. The collection will be sold exclusively in 9 selected markets in Asia and it will be available in Singapore from 12 January in all stores.
“It’s great that a global brand like H&M has curated a special Chinese New Year collection for fashion lovers in Asia and I am very honoured to shoot and be a part of the creative process of this year’s campaign. Expressing Chinese cultural elements with a modernistic approach is what I have always pursued in my work. Shooting Li Chen and Bingbing in the collection against a traditional backdrop was a modern way to express the festivities of this special Chinese Holiday,” says Chen Man.
Fronting a fashion campaign for the first time as a couple, H&M’s Chinese New Year campaign captures the happiness and love between the couple Li Chen and Fan Bingbing. Through Chen Man’s unconventional art direction, the couple was photographed at a Chinese courtyard in Beijing dressed in contemporary outfits, fusing the long-established culture with fresh and modern fashion.

Customers will receive a 15% discount voucher for every bag of unwanted garments or home textiles they bring. Terms and conditions apply.
