DKNY Signs Model Couple for Ad Campaign

Models Esther Canadas and Mark Vanderloo met six months ago on a Donna Karan International photo shoot. Now, the couple has signed a two-year, exclusive contract to serve as the highly photographed faces of the new DKNY brand advertising campaign. The New York-based apparel firm said its campaign will include “slices of life, capturing their relationship and lives unfolding in photos.” Donna Karan executives described the two models as “incredibly grounded and approachable. . . . They have a natural, unstudied style that a DKNY customer relates to.”
