Denni Elias for JOYCE advertising campaign

About one month ago I was contacted by JOYCE boutique,  the far-famed major luxury department stores in all China, and was invited to be the face for their advertising campaign, which was also a huge and special collaboration, as they teamed up with  Romeo Gigli to create a unique collection and bring back the tradition of this great designer- JOYCE by Romeo Gigli - .  Along with me, spectalurar figures like supermodel Ji Li Li , Charley Casely Hayford and Matthew Avedon took part in it.


As you may have seen, last month I finally travelled to Beijing to be able to be shot by Chen Man, who is photographer for countless magazine covers like I-D, L'Officiel, Harper's Bazaar and Elle. Needless to say, spending time together and working with this amazing team was one unbelievable experience.


I'm still so honored to be chosen by JOYCE for my first big international advertising campaign.  I'm excited to be on billboards, buses and stores everywhere in such big cities like Shanghai, Hong Kong and Beijing - and soon in Venice, Italy!-.

Thank you to each person of  the JOYCE team, 
and thank you to my readers that I can share this with, 
and believe in me.
