Hip hop artist Missy Elliott stars in the Marc Jacobs Fall 2016 campaign. She was photographed by David Sims with hair by Guido Palau and makeup by Diane Kendal.
Marc Jacobs says in a statement, "MISSY, Supa Dupa Fly. From the moment I heard, The Rain, back in 1997, I was entranced by the genius rhythms and brilliant rhymes of Missy Elliott. Missy’s music has kept me and my design team happily energized through countless weekdays, weeknights and weekends during those long hours of sketching, fitting, styling and doing looks. In addition to the boundless energy of her music are the visually pulsating and wildly cartoon-like music videos she made in collaboration with the talented and visionary, Hype Williams. I am in continued awe of Missy’s ability to push the boundaries of the style of music both to the eye and to the ear. It was a dream of mine to work with her and I'm happy to share this portrait by David Sims for our Fall '16 campaign."
Missy Elliott is reportedly working on her seventh studio album. It is named Block Party. A release date has not yet been set. She released a single from the album in February called "Pep Rally."
Missy is also in the Marc Jacobs music video directed by Hype Williams. It also features Marilyn Manson, Cara Delevingne and more.
