Düsseldorf, February 13, 2023. DOUGLAS is introducing a new visual identity across Europe, both in stores and online. The aesthetic yet emotional images by renowned Australian photographer Chris Colls, which feature international film stars such as Diane Kruger and Elyas M'Barek, replace Peter Lindbergh's motifs after five years. Starting signal is the new international campaign "Beauty is ...", which launches next Wednesday (February 15). Europe's leading platform for premium beauty wants to use the campaign to set an impulse for the individual interpretation of beauty. "For us beauty is subject to constant change. Based on the motto 'beautiful is who feels beautiful', the perception of beauty is individual and can change quickly,” says Caroline Schmitt, CMO DOUGLAS Group.

DOUGLAS has chosen four multi-faceted personalities who will embody “Beauty is …” and the company in the future:  Hollywood star Diane Kruger, Austrian actor Elyas M'Barek and international models Ajok Madel and Alexandra Agoston. All four share not only an extraordinary charisma, but also an authentic, personal presence in front of the camera - and of course their very own understanding of beauty. "We wanted to develop a new and modern visual design that supports our brand identity in an aesthetic way. Through its visual intensity and closeness, it reflects the core of our new 'Beauty is ...' campaign and thus our brand philosophy," says Caroline Schmitt.

 

About the photographer Chris Colls

Photographer and creative director of the campaign Chris Colls stands for a clear, minimalist, and contemporary style of photography - whether in black and white or in reduced color - his works captivate with their timelessness. Colls consciously refrains from over-staged poses and creates effortless, natural, and authentic-looking images.
