DAVID BECKHAM, LANA DEL REY & JOEL KINNAMAN FOR H&M

The Celebrity Faces of H&M

A few exciting new updates from our friends at H&M!  As we all know already, Lana Del Rey is the chosen Face for the Fashion Retailer's Fall 2012 Collection for Women. An amazing Commercial featuring new Track Blue Velvet, directed by Johan Renck, is set to premiere Wednesday, September 19, 2012 on hm.com.  In this Campaign, Del Rey wears key pieces from the Collection, including a pink Angora Sweater, patterned Leggings, a Tweed Biker Jacket and a form-fitting Tweed Dress with leather Details. 

For their Men's Collection none other than a Toronto-bound Joel Kinnaman will be fronting the Collection.  The Swedish Actor stars in Sony Pictures' RoboCop, set to film next month in the City, pairing with Director Jonas Åkerlund on a Commercial for H&M, set to premiere Friday, October 5, 2012 on hm.com.  Kinnaman says, "H&M makes it easy for a guy to look great every single day and create a personal style. Their men’s Collection always gives me a choice of how I want to dress, whether it is sharp in a Suit and Polo-Neck, or more relaxed in Jeans and a Tweed Jacket. That’s why I’m so happy to be the face of H&M this season".  The Retailer also currently is using another Face currently in Toronto, Bill Skarsgård, in-town filming Hemlock Grove.

And what better way to celebrate the massively-successful  David Beckham Bodywear at H&M Collection than with some new Pics?  The international Sex Symbol has just shot another set of Photos with Alisdair McLellan in Los Angeles, soon to be unveiled.  Beckham's Collection is available permanently in 1,800 stores worldwide.

BILL SKARSGÅRD IN TORONTO FOR "HEMLOCK GROVE"

Bill Skarsgård in Toronto - July 2012

Just when you thought you knew the Skarsgårds, now comes the latest in a Family of brilliant Actors - Bill. Although he's already established himself in Sweden as one to look-out for, the 23-year-old Brother of Alexander (True Blood) and Son of Stellan (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Avengers) is now making a name for himself in these parts. He can be seen in this November's Romantic-Drama Anna Karenina, starring Keira Knightley, Jude Law and Aaron Johnson, which looks every bit like Oscar Bait... and possibly a TIFF 2012 Candidate?

Skarsgård currently is in Toronto working on Eli Roth's latest Netflix Horror Series, Hemlock Grove, starring the likes of Famke Janssen and Dougray Scott. The Series films until December in the City, although he appears simultaneously to be working also on a Norwegian Project titled Victoria.

The handsome Actor who bears an unmistakable resemblance (the eyes!) to his Brother and Father, was spotted out and about doing a Grocery run earlier, stocking-up for a week of work on Hemlock Grove, which last week had its Cast and Crew all the way out in Port Perry.  

Definitely one to keep a tab on.
