monsoon: create a storm




Following in the footstep of supermodels Jodie Kidd and Sophie Dahl, Sophie Ellis-Bextor is the latest personality to model for the successful brand.

Sophie is now back. As well as making her debut as the face of Monsoon, she is also on the verge of relaunching her singing career with the release of a new single later this year [2006], titled Catch You.

The amazing images show Sophie creating a storm in this season beautiful collection from Monsoon. Shot in central London, in an artists studio, Sophie looks fabulous in her role as the bohemian artist. Through the storm appears a rainbow... Sophie strikes a pose - she is the perfect Monsoon girl.




"I am really excited to be part of the new Monsoon campaign. Besides being very proud of the photos, I am also looking forward to wearing some of the clothes - I especially love the vintage inspired dresses".








EVENING STANDARD ON AUGUST 24, 2006:

Comeback queen: Sophie Ellis-Bextor is hoping the new ad will get her noticed.

As comebacks go, it is one likely to get her noticed. At least that's what Sophie Ellis-Bextor will be hoping with this shot for a high street fashion chain.

The singer, 27, has been out of the spotlight for two years after giving birth to son Sonny and marrying The Feeling's bass player Richard Jones.

She plans to return in the autumn with a new single and album and a lead role in an advertising campaign for Monsoon.

The star who sang Murder On The Dancefloor follows in the footsteps of Jodie Kidd, who wore just a strip of lace to pose on a horse for the label.


HELLO MAGAZINE ON AUGUST 24, 2006:

Sophie creates a storm with sedutive ads

After a two-year break from the limelight, Sophie Ellis-Bextor is set to make her comeback in more ways than one. Aside from releasing a new single and album she will also be the face of fashion store Monsoon's Create A Storm ad campaign.

The striking Brit, whose little boy Sonny was born in 2004, has been taking time out from her music career to focus on motherhood and married life with husband Richard Jones, bass player for The Feeling. But fans won't be able to miss the poised 27-year-old over the coming months as her svelte figure adorns billboards around the country.

Known for her individual sense of style, the Murder On The Dancefloor star is following in the footsteps of Jodie Kidd and Sophie Dahl in modelling for the high-street clothing chain. "Besides being very proud of the photos, I am also looking forward to wearing some of the clothes," she revealed. "I especially love the vintage-inspired dresses.

Daughter of former Blue Peter presenter Janet Ellis, Sophie began her music career at 17 when she joined indie group theaudience before going solo. Her adverts for Monsoon coincide with the September release of her latest single Catch You, followed by her album Trip The Light Fantastic, which she has been working on steadily away from the spotlight.

"Since having Sonny and getting married, I am strangely more focused than ever and just wanted to take my time and come up with something that I could be proud of, no matter what its fate may be," she explains.




The photocall took place in London on August 24, 2006. For more pictures, check the gallery. Also check the photoshoot for the High Quality pictures from the booklet.



The pictures were taken by International photographer and Mario Testinos protégé, Alexi Lubomirski in Central London.

The production team also included stylist Anne Marie Curtis at Ellison Lee, hair stylist Gareth Van Cuylenburg at Julian Watson and make up artist Ashley Ward at Terrie Tanaka.

Sophie also wore the Monsoon dress, which she had wore on the photocall, at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards 2006, as you can on the left. For more pictures of GQ Men Of The Year, go here.
