New Esprit campaign teases brand refresh
Esprit
Produced by Dake Gonzalez at Shake Productions, the campaign “marks the beginning of a new era” for the brand that says it’s “back and here for a good time. Rules no longer apply, and Esprit welcomes you to come along on the journey. Beginning with a summer refresh that teases what’s to come”.

The company is aiming to introduce “a new generation to the brand that thrives on the energy of optimism, confidence, and togetherness. The campaign and collection take what customers already recognise from Esprit, what they have nostalgia for, and reposition them in a way that feels fresh”.
The women’s pieces featured “are inspired by the places, cities, and lifestyles experienced while on holiday”. They’re characterised by a focus on warm-weather fabrics like linen, Tencel
The men’s collection meanwhile “carries a weightless feel in the spirit of exploring and embracing movement”. The spotlight is on linen-blend suiting, denim shorts paired with nautical-striped tees, and retro camp shirts.
Esprit said the focus on stripes “inspires a classic jet-set look that feels of-the-moment, completing a wardrobe that allows the wearer to feel confident and free”.
The collection launches on 27 April on the US webstore and later in the spring at global locations.
